About This Quote
The beauty of this quote lies in the fact that it speaks to the importance of living in the present moment. We often get so wrapped up in what we did yesterday or what we should be doing today that we forget to enjoy the moment. The fact is, we don’t “count time” by heart throbs; we count it by minutes and hours and days and years. The only way to live a meaningful life is to live in the moment and take advantage of every second that God gives us. When we do that, we will find that life becomes full of joy and happiness and experiences worth remembering for all eternity.
