Value the moment
We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.
H. G. Wells
I really like this one!
In our busy lifes we tend to forget to pause every once in a while and just embrace the moment. Embrace fresh air, a beautiful sky, the people around you, a cup of tea, or whatever it is. Embrace your work, embrace your pain, because it makes you feel alive, embrace whatever emotion you are feeling right now.
Take the time to feel alive every once in a while!

Open your eyes
Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.

A concept of time
If we do it now, we’ll never run out of time.
Anonymous
I really like this idea.
From a rational standpoint, you will run out of time eventually. But you won’t care as long as you are acutally present and working on something with focus and passion.
Have you ever worked yourself in some sort of frenzy over something? You probably have, but let me share this personal memory of mine:
I can clearly remember young me playing with lego bricks just for the sake of doing it. I did not know how much time I had and I did not care.
5 minutes? Go play Lego! 5 hours? Go play Lego!
Apparently the concept of “Meh, it’s not worth to start now, I just have some minutes left” is a mindset that we adapt as we get older but I want to encourage you to forget about it every now and then.
Because, let’s be honest: Those moments when we forget about time and everything around us, when we focus just on the task we are doing, the game we are playing, the book we are reading, the person we are talking to, those are the moments that actually make us happy, the moments that make us feel alive.
Those are the moments we want in our lives.
When was the last time you were so absorbed in an activity that you completely forgort about your surroundings? If the answer is not ‘today‘, make a ‘today‘ out of it today!
And now excuse me, I might have to fish my Lego out of the basement.

Focus your thoughts
If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine.
Morris West
As long as you focus your mind on negative things, you will most certainly experience more of them. Instead, just focus on the good things in life, enjoy, be grateful.

Focus!
It is wise to direct your anger towards problems, not people.
To focus your energies on answers, not excuses.

Focus!
Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There is plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.
