Looking back on some spectacular, most beautiful times in your life (great trips, a phase of your life, honeymoon, first few weeks of being with your newborn, hustling on your first successful business, etc.), do you generally feel that you were 100% present and acknowledged the magic of these moments or do you tend to look back with some regret, thinking that you could have been even more present?
No matter how deeply I take in these precious moments, later I tend to think that I could have been even more present and enjoyed them even more. But maybe that's just normal and indicates how special these moments were?
@MJ DeMarco, I would appreciate your answer as I feel like your knowledge of Michael A. Singer and your daily gratitude could provide a helpful insight here.
Of course I could have been more present, but I don't look back with regret, but fondness and nostalgia. It makes me so much more appreciative of my NOW. My past makes me more present.
I can admit, however, I had some personal struggles in my 40s which; this period of time seems to have flown by for me where I wasn't as present as I should have.
I don't have a lot of highs and lows in my life; they all feel like highs...
So on a scale of 1 through 10, 1 being life sucks, and 10 life is awesome, my weekly life looks like this:
Monday: 9.5
Tuesday: 9.5
Wed: 9.5
Thurs: 9.5
Friday: 9.5
Saturday: 9.5
Sunday: 9.5
Whereas the average person lives life like this:
Monday: 2
Tuesday: 3
Wed: 4
Thurs: 5
Friday: 6
Saturday: 10
Sunday: 7
