That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.

Life is such a precious gift. There is something so beautiful and fragile about the present moment. Every single second of our lives can never be replaced, which is why it is so important to savor the moments we have here and now. As much as the future is full of possibilities, the past is irreplaceable. That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.

The ability to reflect on our past experiences gives us a great opportunity to appreciate how far we have come and how far we still want to go in life. To learn from mistakes, to continue building meaningful relationships, to work towards accomplishing goals — all these amazing adventures require that we cherish the moments of today and live with purposeful intent.

It’s not always easy though. We often find ourselves getting stuck in fear or doubt or worry, ruminating on what might happen instead of fully engaging with the present moment. This prevents us from experiencing joy and growth. That’s why taking time each day for intentional mindfulness practice helps us stay connected with our feelings and also reminds us to savor every precious second that will never come again!
