When people tell you to forget about tomorrow And to live your life carefree without sorrow do you think they're like the stupid grasshopper? Who will not have food in winter to devour! Yet you see those who live carefree unperturbed by the bothers of reality And they are the ones who seem happy. When the rest of the world is burdened with worry. So am I suggesting you splurge your life savings and forget tomorrow? And then with a begging bowl go around looking to borrow! Of course not! There is something called 'balance'. Although maintaining that for some, is quite the challenge! Have you really understood the difference that preposition brings? 'Living in the moment' is all about detachment from strings. Savour each moment and let your inner being delve into the present. Without anxiety of the future or in past burdens to ferment. It's about having the ability to enjoy the food on your plate. That mess at work and the abuses from your bosses can wait. You'll still have to deal with it after your lunch break. But you don't have to put your appetite at stake! Maybe you've just been given a notice for eviction. And sure, it'll cause a lot of discomfort and affliction. But if you're like me, you'd continue to enjoy writing this poem. Because you can sit back and logically analyze it all then. There's no need to destroy the joys of the present. In anticipation of some future moment. Because even if it's inevitable, For the present joy, you're still eligible! If you train your mind to compartmentalize Deal with the lows while enjoying the highs. Of course, I'm not telling you to neglect things. You need to learn to prioritize everything. 'Living for the moment' is a completely different concept. Based on seeking dopamine and the instant gratification precept. Living for the moment may seem very seductive. And until you spiral down, it can get quite addictive. But, just like most things in life, There are some things you separate with a knife. Find some semblance of balance. And that is the real art of living talent!

Life is renewed…
Life is but a dream and every stuff is in permanent except for the formless divine presence …
Being grateful and unconditionally accepting the moment or the present now do help you resolve the upcoming events …
The eternal timeless now and yes the power of now by Eckhart Tolle is a great enlightening precognitive set of concepts …

As said that life is a balance between holding on and letting go .
You do co-create with the divine flow of life but we can choose our own heaven in being good and taking action when you feel necassary …
