Life is Fragile

We live, a brief moment in time; like the passing cloud, here one moment, gone the next. We do not know what tomorrow will bring, and the only time we really have is right now.

Enjoy your life before it is too late. Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Begin, at once, to live while you are still healthy and have all your faculties intact.

Keep light hearted. Don’t stress yourself unnecessarily. Appreciate the little things; be grateful for the little things. Do what makes you happy. Keep your wants and needs to a minimum. Don’t accumulate too many unnecessary things. You can’t bring them with you when you leave this world.

Maintain a pleasant disposition. Smile, laugh, be happy! Stop to smell the roses. Learn to see the humour, the beauty, the wonder in things. Learn to forgive, forget, let go and move on. Don’t carry the world on your shoulders. Don’t let the world weigh you down.

Fragile… A bubble of air in the blood, a drop of water in the brain, and a man is out of gear, his machine falls to pieces, his thought vanishes, the world disappears from him like a dream at morning. On what a spider thread is hung our individual existence! - Henri-Frederic Amiel

We are all just a car crash, a diagnosis, an unexpected phone call, a newfound love, or a broken heart away from becoming a completely different person. How beautifully fragile are we that so many things can take but a moment to alter who we are forever? - Samuel Decker Thompson

Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man – yesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So for the hairsbreadth of time assigned to thee, live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it. - Marcus Aurelius
