Do not get confused and think that Seneca is telling us not to pursue our grandest goals, this is not the case because Seneca himself was a wealthy and successful man. His quote is an admonition against a lack of presence, it’s a warning against those who are unable to enjoy the moment for what it is. You can not live your life always thinking about the future or remembering the past. The future is uncertain and the past is often distorted by the mind. The only truth is found in the present moment. True happiness can not be found in anything outside yourself. Material things are transient in nature and can only offer temporary excitement. As we have seen the excitement wares off and we are often left looking for more ways to expand. We end up spending so much time day dreaming about the future and all of its perks that we forget to enjoy the life that we are living right now. Learn to enjoy the present moment fully, by bringing your attention to it. Learn to appreciate life in the moment because the future is not guaranteed. No man knows the day or in which land he will be buried, so do not live your life dreaming about an uncertain future. You can still pursue great accomplishments in the future while being present to the moment. You simply enjoy the moment for what it is and work on what you need to do to ensure the future is great as well. The secret is to not escape the present moment by daydreaming about a better future. Dedicate yourself to the NOW and create a great future through it. Remember to like this video and subscribe to my channel!! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS2W8CWZJZI
