To paraphrase Fleetwood Mac’s awesome, optimistic song “Don’t Stop,” I want to encourage you, my Dear Friend, to stop thinking about tomorrow and forget about good and bad times.
Focus on now and here. Focus on your fights here and now because tomorrow can never come, and the past will never return. The longer I live, the more I feel that there are no such things as good and bad times. All days are good and bad for me simultaneously. The best day of my life was when I woke up last time. That’s why I want to encourage other people to start enjoying everything they have here and now. Why? Because there is always such a possibility we won’t get up the next day. Sometimes I’m curious whether people of the XXI century are not too focused on the future, on the one hand, on the past, on the other hand. I am not an exception. Sometimes I am too absorbed to plan future days and contemplate past times.
By doing it, I feel that we miss life’s essence. We forget that we live and we can do great things today.
While writing all these things, I started to wonder whether mindfulness is something I should attach myself to. Perhaps, yes. Perhaps, I should read more about mindfulness. Maybe, somewhat unconsciously, I began to be a more mindful person. I do not know it, but I do not have to know the answers to all questions.
Moreover, I know that I like to return to Fleetwood Mac’s excellent album, entitled “Rumours,” and listen to not only the “Don’t Stop” song but also “You Can Go Your Own Way.” Music similarly gives me power as coldness or intermittent fasting. It drives through each subsequent day. Still, I do not want to think about tomorrow. All I want is to see my beloved Kamilka’s smile.
