Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Society in general:

    You have to work hard now, to enjoy your life later.

  • How I responded:

    This is fundamentally not true. LIVE NOW. Work hard now and enjoy your life NOW. In the present moment. Do not wait for the future. It does not exist. The future only exists in the present moment when it arrives.
