as marcus aurelius once said
remember that man lives only in the present in this fleeting instant or the rest of his life is either passed and gone or not yet revealed
foolishly most of us shape fantasies instead of destinies
we are lost in daydreams of the past or anxious about the future
we live distracted always physically present but mentally absent
the stoic saw this for what it was
a waste of our most precious resource the present moment and thus their advice was simple but powerful
to seize the here and now with both hands to extract every ounce of experience and wisdom from it
into enriched with virtue
