Why do you hold on?
06:57
Look back,
Live now, and
Move forward.
But don't hold on to
Any of those.
That's not what matters.
All are important, but
Only one of them
Is up to you now,
(And even that one
Will, in the future,
Become past.)
Look back and
Remember who you were
But only if it unsettles you
And helps you move on
And change.
If it doesn't unsettle you,
Why aren't you that person anymore?
As to the rest,
It is past.
It has done its part in your life.
It has already contributed to
Who you are.
But that was when it was not past,
and was still present.
It should not be affecting you anymore.
It will not come back,
It will only remain in memory.
And memories are to be remembered,
If you want.
Nothing less, nothing more.
Live now, but
Don't only enjoy the moment.
Don't hold on to
Living every minute to the extreme.
Remember to
Seize the day,
But also remember to
Not be selfish, and
Make every moment, every day
Including this
Very
Moment,
Enjoyable for
Someone else too.
Enjoying the moment is usually
Seen as the maximum, perfect way
Of living. However
Don't limit yourself to enjoying the moment.
Actually
Make it a moment worth enjoying.
Make something
Truly amazing
Out of every second that goes by.
But don't think for a second
That you need money
Social status
A lot of courage
Or even too much effort
To make great things.
Time is the constant unit in Life
So all you need
To make something out of time
And out of yourself in time
Is to be alive.
I like to think that
Time you enjoy wasting
Isn't wasted time.
So with every second,
With your existance, mind and soul,
You can make something
Genuinely awesome.
In a moment.
And move forward.
Where else to go?
Even if forward means older
Even if forward means not knowing what's ahead
Even if forward is scary.
Why would you make a big deal out of that
When that is what's normal?
Keep moving forward.
You can worry
But don't hold on to worries
That are not up to you right now.
Matthew said
"Do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow
will worry about itself.
Each day has
enough trouble of its own."
This is why you mustn't hold on
To any thing
Or any one
Or any time.
The past has already had its troubles.
The present has troubles that you can do something about,
And the future will then have its troubles.
If you keep doing the best you can,
You will be alright.
Not necessarily
At being a prodigy geinous,
Nor a millionaire,
Nor a philantropist,
Nor a professional;
But if you keep doing the best you can
At being a person,
Then, and only then,
Will you be alright.
It is important to
Give and be
Your best,
If you want to be alright
In the eyes of the One who matters.
In one moment
You can do all that.
But one thing you
Still need to do
Before accomplishing this is to
Let go of the things of this world.
You've been told about
The very best you can do and be.
Are you doing it?
Are you being it?
Why are you holding on to things
That prevent you from doing/being it?
Why hold on to things, or people,
Or even the time of this World?
When
Our goal is transcendent
And completely
Independent of this World.
