MiSyl Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 I just wanted to share a quote in Oathbringer that I loved! Shallon discovered this truth. I took a picture of it when I read it and I am sorry but I don't have the page number. This quote made me think of people today, so caught up in recording every special moment on Instagram or Snapchat or wherever. I feel it is good advice for everyone! It says " She felt like drawing this scene, but knew it was the type of moment she couldn't capture on a page. It wasn't about content or composition but THE PLEASURE OF LIVING. The trick to happiness wasn't in freezing every momentary pleasure and clinging to each one, but in ensuring one's life would produce many future moments to anticipate." I loved this. Live in the moment, live in the now with your friends or family knowing that life has so much more to bring! We don't have to record every moment of our life, it's ok to enjoy the moment of living! Anyway, I just wanted to share thanks for reading 9
Bort he/him Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 That is a lesson so many people could do with learning. 3
1stBondsmith he/him Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Wedding Pictures... (UUUghhhh!) I hate posed pictures, but I love impromptu shots capturing happiness. Less pictures, less posing, less touch-up, more LIVING! If you ask me to smile, I look terrible in pictures, if you catch me smiling, you might feel I was a guy you could get along with. Catch me living! @MiSyl-To your point about the quote, it is not just living in the moment. There is a very important "ensuring one's life would produce many future moments to anticipate". Live in such a way that your actions will bring more happiness later, not regret. Don't trade happiness now for misery later. PLAN and then you get one of life's best rewards... ANTICIPATION!

MiSyl Posted March 24, 2018 Author Posted March 24, 2018 I agree! Well put ! Not just living in the moment but realize that the future also holds so many cool possibilities!
Vissy Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 It's a great quote. I don't think that it's so much a lesson to be learned, though, as a state of understanding that you can't really achieve when you're already down in the dumps. It's the kind of thing you need to experience as you're saying it to really get what it means. 1
