Contentment

Why is it that we as humans have such a hard time being content with the here and now? We are always looking ahead to better tomorrows and looking back on greater yesterdays. We often fail to remember that today is day we have been looking forward to for all those years, and it is that day we will look back on with tears in our eyes wishing for nothing more than to have it back. We forget that the here and now, this is our life, these minutes are our lives, the mundane, the grand, those moments are life. We ought to spend less time wandering away from today and more time living the moment we’re in. Tomorrow may come, or it may not, yesterday though, is gone for good, and can never be brought back. We only have one thing for sure, and that is this moment.
