As I watch him, a sudden recognition comes over me: Tonight, I can be anyone I want… maybe being happy only means living in the moment, appreciating the exact moment you're in and not thinking about the worries of the future.

About This Quote

Being happy and appreciating the moment you are living in is a good thing. However, paying more attention to the present than the future can sometimes cause problems. For example, if you are working on a project or writing an essay and suddenly get distracted by something else, then the project may get delayed. Or, if you're reading a book and get distracted by something else, then it may not get finished.

Also, we all worry about the future and we try to avoid anything that will hurt our future opportunities. So, if we worry about the future too much and pay too little attention to the present moment, we will not be able to enjoy our own lives.
