Enjoy the moment or expect the unexpected?

The light at the dark tunnel is reached. The sun beams down and days seem perfect. It is as if every choice made leads us to moments just as this. Happiness flows through the body and brings nothing but smiles. Every problem dissipates for the instant and the moment only matters. One instant moment can last a lifetime. It has the ability to create an obsession. There becomes an innate need to cling to the moment; cherish the feelings that are released. If you look back all that you can do is grin to the private moment you are having. A moment only you can completely understand. This feeling is attainable. It gives the essence that without it you are incomplete. That every moment before was leading to this memory.

Do you take the opportunity to embrace these sensations? Can you overcome the anxiety that the perfect instant could be fleeting? Do you analyze all the short comings the moment has? Do you question that the challenges will return? That the problems still exists even if temporarily forgotten. That although it appears like perfection there is still holes and fractures. That there is missing components. That the true achievement is not there. That nothing is truly perfect. Does the eternal optimism within is become out weighted by natural pessimism? Can you balance the knowledge you are still searching for more while enjoying the little moments? Do you wish for previous perfect moments that may never return? Will you always miss the little moments?

How do you enjoy the perfect moments? How do you move past the previous perfect moments? Do you always question if you will remain this happy or how happy you were before? How do you embrace your past, live in the present, and look to the future? Do you lose yourself somewhere along the lines?

These questions flood the mind. Constant speeds. Perpetually racing in the mind. Trying to love the perfect moments, cling to old memories, and look forward to what is yet to come. It seems to be a constant battle. When the sun beams in after a dark tunnel there is the sensation that even if the moments are fleeting the instant is worth everything. It gives the idea to cease every chance, every instant, every emotion. If you do not you will always wonder what could have been. Find a way to live in the moment. Do not dwell on the what if or the what could have/should have been. It will not help you find happiness.
