Day 5: Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come.


Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come.

This is a very funny sentence - you could really read out that "you should do crazy things and live the life to the fullest because tomorrow might never come" ...But what if it comes? Too bad, huh? Have to be ready for the consequences as well. So being rebel isn't really a solution.

I would translate it more like don't get stuck in past and don't live too much in future. Be here. In this moment. Appreciate the present and be grateful what you have - friends, family; thing's you've achieved in life. Every day, all the time. Or if not always, then think about what you have every now and then.

I think the problem with being stuck in past just stops your personal growth -  you're not able to let go things to move on. And the problem with living in future just doesn't let you to enjoy and appreciate the things you do in present - you're never happy with yourself because you're already thinking how you're going to do everything better in future.

So, be present in your life. Feel the moment. Invest time on one single activities instead of multitasking. If you cook, you cook, if you watch a movie, watch the movie, if your friend is talking, listen - don't scroll your phone every time you feel not-that-entertained. Enjoy the music you hear instead of trying to make a video of it. Capture world with your eyes instead of taking photos all the time... (I'm pretty bad at it! :)).

Day 11: Keep doing no matter how hard it seems, it will get easier.

It's 2017. Weird. It's already 5 years since I started with this blog and this year I'll turn 25 so the numbers are looking good...
