Wow I Lived

Everyone wants to look back on their lives and say, “Wow I lived!” To help achieve that it is crucial to understand the importance of living in the present. When we focus our attention on the present, we are better able to enjoy life's simple pleasures and appreciate the beauty around us. We can’t always get caught up planning and worrying about the future. Life isn’t long enough and it goes by so fast, so it’s important to remind yourself to stay in the present and try to enjoy every moment. In essence, living in the present allows us to fully engage with the world around us, savoring each moment and experiencing life to the fullest.

When we are fully present, we can tap into our senses and notice details that we might otherwise miss, which can help us spark new ideas and perspectives. Being present can help us be more open-minded, curious, and willing to take risks which can all lead us to be more creative and innovative.
