Blink

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.

In today's fast-paced and advanced society, many find it a challenge to find the time to live in the moment. Living is easy, but appreciating life's most memorable moments seems to need takes conscious  effort. None of us really appreciate the weather these days - we tend to just prepare ourselves for the catastrophe it may will cause rather than embracing it as a blessing.

There are many things to be thankful for. From the moment you open your eyes in the morning to every other activities that you partake in, memories are made. The best way to be thankful is to take time to fully absorb these moments. Moments are special and we need to be grateful that it happened. They, no matter how small or large their impact may be, shaped the person you are today. The things you build will end up building you one day. Look in the mirror and don't blink, you're a masterpiece.

There are may events in my life that, I can say, is life changing. Many of which strengthened me as a person in general, some taught me how to think while others made me feel. I used to compare my development as a person to someone else's. It's rather unhealthy but I used to have that as a benchmark, trying to always be better than him in every way possible. It was through this that I've forgotten to live in the present and to live the life I should be living. There are no two souls with the same character. Ever since the realisation, I lived each moment the way I should... and I definitely feel happier now.

Every moment matters. You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.
