Living in the moment is something that people will most of the time decide against. People are always scared of the unexpected or what can happen when things are not all planned out. I believe in living in the moment. This I believe because it keeps life interesting, and you can always expect the unexpected. Life should not be something planned out where you know what is going to come towards you next. It should be more of an unpredictable story with a trick ending.
Once when I was a young girl my second cousin who is like an aunt to me came from across the country to visit me and my family. My house was just one of the stops she had on her trip around the world. When she came to my house she and I got along so great like always and had such a fun time together she invited me to go on a road trip with her to New Hampshire. Being so young I was a little scared because I was not used to doing something different. I had my set schedule for the week and knew what to expect from each day. Going on a road trip meant experiencing new things and not knowing where I was going to end up or what I was going to end up doing. Since being away from my parents was not hard for me I was able to quickly overlook my little fear of “I don’t know what is going to happen.” Traveling and exploring was something I always wanted to do so within a matter of minutes I was up in my room packing my bags to leave with my aunt.
When I left for that trip it was one of the best experiences I have had in my whole entire life. Not only did I get to see and visit a bunch of places I had never before, but it was really what showed me that living life in the moment is the best possible way to go about life if you want to live it to the fullest. Not living in the moment, and always having to plan things will always give you time to pick out the negative things about what you want to do and all the bad “what ifs.” Living in the moment gives you less time to be scared or fear what you desire to do. As time passes and you look back on old memories don’t you want to be able to say that you weren’t scared to take the chance and live in the moment?
