How to live in the present?

"All we have is now, the present moment"


I have the problem of not able to live in the present moment.

My problem is not with living on Earth, but in its time.

So basically we know there are three times. past present and future.

People who manage all three periods well live the best life.

But in my case it is the opposite.

I'm living in the present but thinking about the future and the past.That I am wasting the precious time of the present and i am not able to live well.

Things like what I did wrong in the past affected me now. Look, I have no control over my past, but still I think about it and it's ruining the present.

Apart from this, sometimes I kept thinking about the future, what will happen tomorrow, how the days will pass.

It has both positive and negative meanings.

It is good if you look at the past and learn from the mistake and the lessons learned from it. That's why it is often said that your best teacher is your last mistake.

But if you regret to a bad event that has already happened and try to reconsider then it is completely bad.

Sometimes there are some events and dates in the future that make us excited about the future, it's good.

But the problem is that the over excitement about the future ruins the present.

For example I am a person if you tell something we will do it tomorrow or on a special day, or there is going to be a function,party.

Then I started thinking about that day and hoping and imagining an imaginary future situation and forget about living in the current moment.

Recently we have exams but also a get together with friends, and marriage party in a single month But instead of studying amidst the exams, I was imagining the excitement of the wedding party and get-together.Luckily the exam went well 

And the problem is that if today I am expecting something to happen tomorrow or a particular day, and it does not meet my expectations then I am the most disappointed person on this planet.

Not appreciating the present moment has been a problem for me.

We have to understand that the present is deeply related to our past and future.

Sometimes regrets of the past and worries about the future ruin the value of the present moment.

Next week's exams, any challenging task of tomorrow, even the expiry day of my mobile unlimited pack makes me anxious and makes me think about the future in the current moment.

It's a good thing to think about the future and  have your own perspective and vision about it

It is also good to learn from past mistakes.

But above all we must ensure that we are not wasting the value of the present and its time.Today's present is tomorrow's past , And our present is the main determiner of our future.

If you are one of those who have the problem of not being able to live in the present. Think about it and find a solution.

And those who have any solutions regarding a good balance of past, present and future, let me know in the comments.

Readers are encouraged to think critically, verify facts, and form their own perspectives. (Someone turned on the TV) I saw a CM of a state talking about a youtube comedy show..yes you hear it right A YOUTUBE SHOW. What has happened in the country that a CM decided to address it ? To answer this question and explain the current situation, Myself Bimal Kumar Mahapatra, along With Sugyan Nanda came up with this blog. Comedy is meant to make people laugh, but sometimes, it can also lead to trouble. But in Today’s world, where outrage spreads faster than context, comedians are constantly at the Wrong side of the story. That’s exactly what happened with India’s Got Latent, a fun show Hosted by Samay Raina, that suddenly found itself at the center of a big controversy. During an Episode, gu...

The Unexpected Path: Embracing Life’s Surprises

 "In life, we don’t get what we expect, sometimes we get better, a joy to reflect." In life, it’s natural to have expectations. We hope for certain outcomes, look forward to specific events, and anticipate the actions of people around us. However, reality often unfolds differently from our plans. Yet, this divergence from our expectations can lead to outcomes even better than we had imagined. We might pray or wish for particular things, but the universe—or God, if you believe—often has a different, grander plan. What we receive may not always align with our desires, but it tends to be exactly what we need. This realization encourages us to trust that we are being guided towards an amazing life, one filled with the experiences we deserve, even if they weren’t what we originally envisioned. Believing in oneself and having patience are crucial. Everything we seek will arrive at the perfect time. When faced with challenges or undesirable situations, it's essential to recogniz...
