Take a day at a time.

We are always thinking ahead of time and what shall we do in a month or one year later and we are fill with hopes and plan to spend the time ahead. We think that tomorrow will always come and many more tomorrows will follow. We are optimistic of living forever and we will be always be healthy. There is nothing wrong with this think . It is a bright and positive thinking and to live pro-actively.

While living with this belief, we have to take a day at a time, so that our mind would not be fill up with too many hopes and plans. If we care thinking about the future all the time, we do not only used up our energy to live and we will also neglect our present. In other words, we are living with illusions and expectations and we forget to live in the present moment.

There is small antidote “ if we do not expect anything out of something, then we would not be disappointed “. To live positively, we should have hope and love but we must manage the hope well and do not rely on the hope absolutely. If these hopes fail to realize , then we are not hurt by it. If we place our hopes very high or place our hope on other people’s commitment , then we could be hurt seriously and would never recover from such non-fulfillments.

Just like the wisdom of “ treating praise as a passing breath of perfume” , enjoy the fragrance when it is still there but do not hold on it and expecting it to last. The same thing is will hope. If it happens so be it and accept it but if it never come, it is another non-event and do not feel hurt or sad about it.

We have to constantly remind ourselves of such wisdom and philosophy. If we train our mind well then, peace and calm will decent on us and we will live without disappointments and hurts.
