As I was saying...

You hear the sayings so many times..."Live in the moment". "You only live once". "Life passes in the blink of an eye".
We hear these sayings over and over, yet do we really understand them? Have we experienced it and try to actively live them? Do we really understand what it means to "be present" or to "live in the moment"? Time helps one hone these skills because it IS a skill. It does take practice, mistakes and experience, as with anything. We rarely do anything perfect the first time. It is our repeated trials and errors that give us knowledge and information and learning. If you did everything perfect the first time, there would be no learning. If you were like NEO in the Matrix, it would be called "downloading". It would not be "learning". Learning allows us to experience the permutations and possibilities. It allows us to collect information to accommodate a broader understanding of the whole. Life...like jiu-jitsu...
