If you know something is going to end, does it make it more enjoyable while it’s happening?
It’s the idea of knowing all things must come to an end. Nothing and no one will last forever. All moments, emotions, and hardships will eventually pass.
Because of this, you should find the strength to fight through struggles. Find the joy in everyday occurrences. Invest yourself in the present moment, when all is perfect.
Your weekend with friends, with no cares or worries, just immense happiness, must come to an end. So don’t waste one second of it. Feel the joy and stay present.
Your anxiety over balancing everything in your life will one day be a long lost memory. You’ll soon be able to manage everything without fail. So focus on what you can do at this moment, not on everything that needs to be done.
That sunny day will soon turn to rain and then snow. Don’t dwell on how cold it will be, but on how amazing the warmth is. Look up at the sky and be thankful for the clear blue before you.
Good or bad, everything comes to an end. Don’t pretend like this moment will last forever. Enjoy every good time and slowly work through the bad.
All you have is this moment. Choose how you want to live it.
