ment. Every instant is worth appreciating, it’s awesome and
          unique.  Even  having  reached  something  desired,  you  re-
          main unhappy; instead of being satisfied and enjoying, you
          are rushing for something else. “ I  wish it were as soon as
          possible” – that’s your motto.
             Each instant has its own time, all the rest is just your
          senses. Strictly speaking, time doesn’t exist; there are just
          instants of life given to you to know and be privileged to see
          and feel as well as to get vital force, enriching your immor-

          distort the reality so that you saw everything wrong. Then
          comes the day to plead time to slow and pray for it not to fly.
          But you don’t have a prayer. Nobody to talk  into.  Live here
          and now. Experience feelings, be happy and enjoy life. You
          think what matters here is your money or your night make
          up? Or  wonder if he loves you or you see the back of him?

          there then; never think of the price or the pay back to you,
          don’t check the small change. Learn how to be your best, have
