Everyday is all we have

Every moment 

Every day 

This is all we truly have

So be fully present within each moment 

Because any moment could be your last

Don’t waste your life 

Living in the past 

Or worrying or wishing of the future

Because you only have this moment 

 

Many people spend there whole lives 

Creating plans for their far future 

Or worrying about mistakes in their past

But you only have this present moment 

There is no moment more important 

Than that of the one 

Which you are currently in 

Don’t miss your life living not in the now

Because the now is all we truly have

The now is all we will ever have 

 

You change each day and grow

So planning for a far future is pointless 

We are meant to continue 

To grow and change 

throughout Our whole lives

So what I desire could completely change 

In a year or even a month 

That’s the beauty of life

Everyone’s path is unique 

Everyone has different desires

And different dreams

And different passions

And these dreams and passions 

Can change with you as you grow

Having one set thing to do

For the rest of your life

Is not truly living 

That is like you are trapped in a game

In which you feel unable to leave

Waiting for the end 

in which you can have 

a one week vacation

Or eventually retire 

But this is not being in the now

This is living in the future

These people may waste 

there whole life away 

When all they had to do

Was be in the present and go inward

Chase their dreams and passions

And truly live

 

We only have one life 

There is no redo

There is no second chance 

So do all the things 

That you truly desire

Chase your dreams 

Chase your passions 

Follow your intuition 

Do what you feel is right 

No matter what anyone says

Because no one knows 

what is truly right for you 

Better than yourself

So take those risks

Follow your heart 

Even though it may be scary 

Not following everyone else’s path

You have your own unique path

Your own unique life

That only you can live

Don’t waste your one chance

At this beautiful life
