Moments

We learn about Past, Present and Future Tenses in school. What has been, what is, and what will be. What creates moments? The word 'moment' in general refers to a short span of time that one remembers because of the good or bad occurrences that may change one's course of life. Moments of the past create memories, and that in the future, create Dreams. It is the decisions and actions of these moments that define the bigger picture of life. The key is in NOW. We often plan ahead and overthink the scenarios so much that it ruins our present. And when things do not go as planned, we regret the entire planning process we wasted our past time in. Hence, both the present and either the future or the past time are wasted. Materialistic planning, like career, money or property investment, is needed, and these plans often work on calculative measures, but planning our future situations only leads to unwanted expectations and disappointment. We should never overthink scenarios and situations beyond our control because, in these cases, mostly the outcomes involve others. We should be grateful for today, and cherish our now in every moment, so that when we look back on the past, we have wonderful memories and lessons, where we learnt and grew into better souls.
