Yes! It’s Not Easy, But You Need To Face The Reality And Live For Today

We all have different desires in our hearts. We all have different goals and plans. We wanted to go to an adventure. We wanted to be with the people we truly love. We wanted to enjoy this life and experience a lot of things that we never experienced before. In short, we had a lot of expectations.

There is nothing wrong with having dreams and expectations but sometimes, we tend to separate ourselves from the reality that we are currently living. We have a lot of unrealistic expectations, and we tend to live in it instead of living in the present.

Yes, your reality may be harsh and sometimes painful. And it seems like you can’t see the future if you will try to connect it to the life you are living right now because all you see is pain, or maybe your problems.  But you need to face the truth. You need to open your eyes and start dealing with things that are already in front of you. You need to live for today.

Live in the present. You need to treasure every moment that you have because it will never come back. Spend time with your family and friends. Take time to enjoy the moment with your loved ones. Listen to music, give some time for yourself and learn to rest.

It’s okay to prepare for your future. You may have some wild dreams for yourself and for the people you love. You may have some plans for them in the future. But don’t sacrifice your present just to get there. Don’t give-up your relationships because that’s what makes life more meaningful and enjoyable. If you are too focus on what would happen next, the worst thing that will happen is that while you are working so hard for your dreams and goals, you failed to notice the important things that truly matters.

For instance, you are working so hard for your family and you wanted to give them a good life. You spend so much time in work, you forget that your children are also growing and the sad part is you never witness their growth. You are not there when they need you. You never get to celebrate their simple victories in life.

That’s why, before it’s too late, learn to balance your expectations and dreams with your reality. You are so occupied with preparing for the future for the sake of the people you love, but at the end of the day, what they truly need the most is not just a comfortable future, but a memorable life with you in the present.

Don’t just face the future alone, be with those people you love and join them as they also travel to the journey of the unknown. Stop living with unrealistic expectations. Wake up! Open your eyes and look at what’s in front of you. That’s reality, learn to live in it and you will be blessed.
