The trouble is you think you have time. ~Buddha
I have read a lot about grief, depression, emotions, learning to live again, etc. This simple quote written by the great Buddha sums it all up. You think you have time. If you spend all of your time (which I am guilty of doing) in your past, you will never have a future. It is so true. We have to find our own way of getting through the trials and obstacles in life. Once we do that, get them behind us, then one step at a time, forward, not back. Nobody said it would be easy. And once you get through one thing, Bam, something else will hit. But that is life and what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I am not trying to come across as “preaching”. I am only sharing what I have experienced with the hopes of helping someone else. I feel that is my purpose now. To help others.
Life really is short. We often get too busy with our own lives and forget to call or visit our friends and loved ones. Stop and take the time to at least make a phone call. You will not regret it. Tell those you love how much they mean to you, and never ever take anyone or anything for granted. I have said that many times, and will continue to do so. We never know what the next moment holds. Enjoy life!

There’s a song ‘If Today was Your Last Day’ by Nickelback. It has a message, I like this song.
I had never heard the song, so I researched it and love this part:
Against the grain should be a way of life
What’s worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try
So live like you’re never living twice
Don’t take the free ride in your own life
I listened this song many times and my favourite quote from it is ‘every second counts cause there’s no second try’. Sometimes this sentence simply slip into my mind.
It is a great line to always remember.
Thank you but the photo was courtesy of Pixabay.
Well thank you very much, I rarely take night shots.
Than you very much for visiting!
Whether you need to philosophize or preach your message of positive truth you should not be careful to share your light. Keep on keeping on my friend!
Thank you so much Bradley, that is what I needed to hear. I am sharing my light. Wow I like that, you are the best!
Great advice from Buddha . Life is just a moment, and we need to realize it.
I love the Buddha quotes.
I think I’ve the least right to talk about this…
I often don’t know what I want or what is good for me… And it always seems difficult to take that first step
But oh well, still living well… hehe :p
Good for you alibb, keep on living well. 🙂
Yeah, I mean I shouldn’t be complaining too much since I was the one who procrastinate :p
Anyway, thank you for the kind words … 🙂
You are very welcome. 🙂
Great advice from Buddha since we all have to live life to the fullest since tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
Absolutely, Buddha knew all about life.
You are correct Carol DM.
Wonderful and thought-provoking message, Carol! Life is short and we shouldn’t take anything for granted. It’s a pity that we are often losing time worrying about unimportant things instead of enjoying and appreciating what we have. Your posts are always meaningful and inspiring, don’t doubt that!
Thank you Ellie, written fro my heart. I catch myself doing the same, so this is a reminder for me as well. Thank you for always being so kind.
This is very true. Life is just a moment, and we need to realize it.
Thanks Elenka, you are so right.
Life is a short game. All the game content is about learning, but all the lessons have the same essence as 1 + 1.
Btw, I am trying to reflect on your word, in your opinion, do you consider I have preached all this time with all my posts?
Honestly, I have a concern about that assumption…
No not at all Albert, not at all seriously. I just find myself saying the same thing over and over again because it’s what has helped me. Nothing to do with you!
… I don’t want others reading my post to think, well there she goes again.
No, indeed your writing has nothing to do with me, but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. That’s why I used to write poetry more because it tends to be an art rather than a sermon. Well, that’s how I am always awkward to advise or preach. Unfortunately, just such an idea is dominantly flowing from my head. Hehe…
That is a great idea, I need to start writing poems.
Good enthusiasm, Carol. Hmm… I will often read it, right?
Great post, and so true…. I definitely agree. Thank you for sharing this message
Thank you for reading and commenting Courtney.
