To find that perfect moment, we often, if not always, have to step out of our comfort zone. Sometimes it’s too cold, other times too hot. We have to drive, fly or even sail, and it all comes at a price. In fact, excuses are often easy for not finding what we’re looking for. It’s as if, in order to find that perfect moment, all the stars have to align, just like the original plan! But I won’t teach you anything by telling you that things never go entirely “according to plan”.

Deep down, we all know that the perfect moment doesn’t exist! And why do I say that? Because if we reach it, if we live it, it means that we’ve reached the end, that we’ve succeeded, that we’ve lived it! And then what?! What’s next? In fact, even if we all say we want to live this perfect moment, I’m not sure if it’s really what we want…
So let’s avoid making a million excuses and forget about “too cold, too hot” or “too far, too hard! Instead, let’s enjoy every bit of life that comes our way. That’s when we’ll realize that the moment we’ve been looking for, the moment we’ve worked so hard, so long and so hard to find, the moment that some would say is impossible to find, is actually right in front of our eyes, day after day.
The perfect moment is actually the PRESENT moment! This timeless fragment of our existence is both fleeting and eternal. It is in this tiny interval between past and future that all the richness of our lives lies. It’s the pivot on which our reality hangs, a fleeting gift that deserves our full attention and gratitude.
In the ceaseless whirl of our hectic lives, it’s often difficult to stop and fully contemplate the present moment. We are often prey to nostalgia for the past or anxiety about the future, forgetting that true happiness lies in the present. Yet it’s here and now that life’s true treasures are to be found.
Learning to live in the present moment is an art that requires practice and patience. It involves cultivating full awareness of our thoughts, emotions and actions. It involves slowing down, breathing deeply and savoring each moment with gratitude. It means letting go of past regrets and future worries, to focus fully on the here and now. We are free to fully appreciate the beauty and magic of each moment. Whether enjoying a cup of hot coffee in the morning, gazing at a magnificent sunset in the evening, or listening to the gentle sound of rain falling on the roof, each present moment is a blessing not to be taken lightly.
In the end, the present moment is all we really have. The past is behind us, the future is uncertain, but the present is here, vibrant and alive, waiting to be discovered and appreciated. By choosing to live fully in the present moment, we choose to live a richer, more rewarding and authentic life. So let’s take a deep breath, open our hearts and minds, and dive into the infinite ocean of the present moment.

So if you ask me what the perfect moment is, I’ll tell you it’s the moment we’re living in… FULL STOP!
