Remembrances

A few days ago, the mister emailed this post to me about how important it is to utilize your time while you're still alive and I connected with it so much. I'm going through a small rut in terms of what I want to do with my life (job-wise); so many inspirations, I'm like a 'Jack of all trades' but instead of 'trades', I have interests. The Jack of all interests, master of none. 

Not too catchy.

I just want to share a very awesome teaching I got from that Scrawny to Brawny post. 

This is extracted from the 5 Remembrances of Buddhist philosophy:

And this quote came in the email message:

Caretake this moment.

Immerse yourself in its particulars.
Respond to this person, this challenge, this deed.

Quit the evasions.
Stop giving yourself needless trouble.
It is time to really live; to fully inhabit the situation you happen to be in now.

You are not some disinterested bystander.
Exert yourself.

- Epictetus

Love these two sets of words. Simple yet effective. Yes, I'm in that place where I need words to motivate me, push me; towards a more meaningful life (seriously).

Ear-pleaser of the day: Taro - Alt-J
