The Most Important Moment of Your Life

Description

Most of us have learned to trade the bulk of our moments for a single moment in the future. This robs us of life. This video inspires us to break free of that paradigm and create a new one that celebrates every moment of living.

Video Transcription

this is the most important moment of your life I'm not talking about when you win the lottery or you give that big presentation where you propose to your true love talking about this moment right now it's not just because you're watching one of my videos we've all been taught a way of looking at our life so that we trade thousands of moments for one moment that we hold out in front of us we reach and we reach for that one sometimes we get it sometimes we don't but either way all these thousands of moments they lost they're gone because we've been taught but this is the valuable one these are we miss out a ninety-five percent of life it's all well and good the doctors are getting us to live to 85 or 90 or even longer but is it really that wonderful if most of our life is spent missing out on the moment we're in this is the most important moment of your life this is the most important moment of my life every single one that we're in once we make that mental shift everything changes when we look at a child and we see that expression on their face that expression it's only ever going to be like that once it's never going to look precisely the same and we go into that moment we savor it and we love that clouds in the sky their ever-changing tapestry the words that somebody speaks the emotions that we see in their bodies in their faces that will never be again all around us in every moment are all these wondrous wonders things that are blossoming and if we can change our mind out of trading thousand moments for that one that we're holding out there well all those thousands of moments they turn out to be just as wondrous not more wondrous that one that we've been idolizing you can break yourself out of this all we have to do is to stop and look at that system and say wait is it really a trade-off that I've been taught that wondrous moment that important moment that we're thinking of it's going to happen tomorrow or next week or next year that one that we're waiting for think to ourselves that moment that moment really going to give us all the pleasure and happiness that we're imagining

is that moment even going to happen we don't know and once we break ourselves out of that hypnosis but staring and idolizing that moment that we're holding out there we can set it back you realize that it's just one of these thousand moments but each one of these moments is worthy of our fullest attention our fullest awareness life it's moving us along and we can let it go by and that's tragic

because this is a beautiful life that we have each and every one of us I've heard from so many of you that are facing things that i think would shatter me and yet you tell me of how you've come through these and you have found a way to love and appreciate life again and i think that all of you who've shared those stories would say those moments those painful horrible terrible things if they because you could be in them and experience them they've made you what you are today they've crafted your life when we can start looking at our negative moments or tragic moments in that way we can see that they are too just one of these thousands of moments what's given to us you know life can become like a story there are sad things and there are happy things there's bliss frustration anger tiredness but through all that if we can see at every moment is worthy of our awareness and our attention life transforms this moment

is the most important moment of our lives
