they say you have to live in the here and now. But the ‘here and now’ is a constant that you encounter day after day. So how different is it from accepting what life brings along and trying to make the best of it? from doing what the majority of humanity is doing every day? from taking the easy way out and leading a mundane, nondescript life?

but how do you live in the here and now, and yet create something worthwhile out of what you have been given? how do you reach one foot out into the future without losing your foothold in the present? and how do avoid tiring yourself out when you are pushing against the same, seeming-immovable barrier every day?

does the answer lie in living the moments rather than compressing them into days defined by targets?
