Taking time to appreciate what we have is an incredibly important aspect of our understanding of reason, as to why we are here and what it’s all about. Within every facet of our lives that we hold dear, there is a message of understanding around why we exist and the purpose of what it truly means to be human. Throughout our lives, we have fluctuations of speed, moments in which we are unable to absorb what is really in front of us simply because we are sidetracked, or it’s a somewhat fluent habit. Sometimes these moments slow right down, and we take in every sound, smell, feeling, and emotion of that present moment.

The moments in which we cherish and will continue to cherish the most are the moments where time slows down because we are so absorbed in the moment that we take in every aspect of it. We are so locked into the moment that time stands still, or even the concept of time dissipates.

As I’ve grown older, learned to understand myself more, understood what is important to me, and understood what truly makes me happy, I have been able to tap into these frequencies further and allow my mind to entwine itself in the present moment and absorb every possible aspect of it. This is simply because I am able to both be present but also understand and accept that every moment in time is its last moment in time, and the only moment that will ever be.

Forever there will be moments that I falter, and that’s fine, because without loss and the ability to understand what the shortfall is, we’ll never understand why those moments are so important. Prioritizing time, patience, and presence to fully absorb them is crucial.

Family dinners, friendly moments, enjoying my son riding on my shoulders – these will all one day pass, and in return, we will either be left with memories and experiences or nothing; and that’s all we truly have. Taking the time to appreciate every aspect of our lives and learning to slow time down, and feel it, is an integral part of the search for happiness.
