Only The Now

"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.”

― Ben Hogan 

Unlike a game of golf that can be played again and again, life has only one go-round. You will be age 25 only once; age 40 only once; age 65 only once.  Indeed, your present day will never come again; your present moment will never be repeated. Do not allow yourself to get mired in memories or traumas, or to daydream too much about a golden future. You have only the now, whether it be sad or joyful, painful or loving, it is there for you to relish, to learn from, to savor; for it will never come again in the same form.
