Over the course of my life, I heard this phrase
several different times – you should have been there.
When you think about being there such as purchasing the
right lotto ticket-winning the million dollar jack pot, going fishing in the
back waters-catching an endless amount of fish, participating in a social event
that was a rip roaring good time, having a homemade meal that your mother made
& reminded you of the good times of growing up.
In life we can’t be here, there, everywhere, we are only at one
place & space at a time. Yet,
we get in a re-active mode & many times regret that we should have been
there.
Well, it’s possible to
change that phrase & turn it around & by saying I am here at this time
& fully living in the present moment.
I have attached a George Carlin video regarding the philosophy of old
age. Always remember, that we all will continue to age & life isn’t over
until our last heart beat doesn’t tick anymore-so-try to enjoy every ticking
moment! (enlarge to full screen to appreciate the video)
