Life Is NOW :-)

I had this intention to resume writing in recent weeks, so as to improve my thoughts and to capture the turbulent thoughts and emotions that I went through in recent months. Thoughts and emotions are very special and important elements of life really. They are all we have, and yet they do not really belong to us. Yet, they shape us and determine how functional and happy we are throughout life itself. Our thoughts and emotions are what drive us in our daily lives, so in a way, we are nothing but a physical shell of changing thoughts and emotions, and unless there is an action (with or without decision making process) that translate all these thoughts and emotions ( often conflicting ) into real physical events, there is really nothing all that real and permanent about our thoughts and emotions.

I suppose the most important question therefore is to ask what I am thinking and feeling at this point in life, about myself, about the world and about the people that I have worldly connections to. The answer is on average ( I do keep track of how I feel on most days of the month as my hormones change ) is that I do feel good about life, and I am generally positive about the future. I actually think that, with a bit of planning, life could fun, happy and fulfilling. I think about the resources that I have - TIME, MONEY and ENERGY, and at this point in time, I believe that the only worthwhile things to do is to actively convert all these available resources into meaningful experiences in life especially when there is an opportunity to do so.

One very important discovery that came to me recently is that Life is NOW, and that I am living these moments and that there is really nothing else that I would like to rush for. And I am happy with the present NOW, and although I know things would change, I have the confidence that things will turn out to be OK, if not, better.... not because I am naive or idealistic, but because I believe that the human survival spirit will always find a way, and as impatient as I am, I am not the type that would give up on life.

It is nice to be relaxed, at peace and not to be in a rushed. Enjoying the NOW, knowing that thoughts and emotions would change and not all that worried about that, and not caring all that much on things that do not really contribute to the long term happiness in life.
