Every moment in your life is an important piece of your own history in the making, so you want to make sure that you are present for every second of it. You don’t want to find yourself living in the past, or even the future, for that matter, but rather, you should be living in the present moment, no matter what that moment may be or what it looks like.
The present is the only time that you have when you really think about it in terms of life. The future is never guaranteed, and the past is merely gone; the present moment is all that you have in the grand scheme of things. Sure, you can think about your future, and you can regret the past, but neither of those things truly matter when you’re living in the moment.
You don’t need to spend your time worrying about the future or dwelling on the mistakes of the past; you can choose to simply exist in the time that you have been given. Choosing to be in the moment is something that can become so profound in your life, but you need to learn to appreciate the present for what it is rather than something you wish it could be.
Learning to live in the present can be a daunting task, especially in a society where we are so focused on the future and what the future holds for us. We must all face the reality that the future is something that we can hope for and cling to, but is ultimately something that may not be promised to us. The present moment is the only time that you have.
Living in and appreciating the present is one step that you can take towards living a happier, more positive life. When you can take the time to live in the present moment, you allow yourself to appreciate all of the things that are happening to you in the present, which is a form of gratitude, and gratitude is a building block towards living a happier life. You can do this!

There's only the now.
