Tic –tic – tic the watch keeps showing the passing time .Days comes and goes. Week’s months and year keep passing and seems like matter of days that we went from childhood to teenage, young age and finely the old age came.
It seems like decades disappeared in blinks and there was so much to do, so much to achieve, so many places to visit, so much to learn, so much to read which we could not do.
Many people in their mid-age start feeling depressed because they feel that they could not do as good in their lives as good they would have liked to do.
How can we live our every moment of life in a way that if ever we look back we do not feel that it was wasted .How to live life at its fullest.
I think that the answer is Live THE Life In Artistic Way.
Now the question is how can we live our lives in artistic way?
I would like to explain it in points –
1-we should take life in day to day basis. Thinking about past cannot help us as we cannot change or get it back and worrying about future is also waste of time because it has not come yet. So we should try to make the present day beautiful and meaningful.
2-Enjoy every little moment at its fullest. For example waking up in the morning is such a beautiful thing. Look at the sky, hear the sound of birds, feel the freshness of the morning. It’s all about feeling, feel the blessing of a new morning which can be full of hope.
Enjoy your cup of tea, talking with your loved ones, walking in the garden, cuteness of a child , beauty of flowers ,smell of rain or whatever fills your heart with joy .
We generally do not pay much attention to these small but very precious things. Admiring them can really make our days full of joy.
3-Do Practice gratitude each day. This is the most important thing we forget to do. We are all blessed with so many things in life which we start to take for granted. The family we have, our parents, the life partner we have, our children, friends, a home to live, food, clothes, chance to be educated …the list is endless. There are many unfortunate people in world who are not that blessed.
4- Learning new things in every stage of our life is very beautiful way to make life meaningful. It is like entering in a new world. Learning new skills not only improves our personality but also it is a smart way to utilize our time.
5- We all live a very busy life. Every day we have a list of tasks to complete and in order to do that we do every work most of the time without giving much thought or attention to them.
The artistic way to get our works complete is doing them more mindfully and enjoying the period of working on them. The list is long and time is always limited. Choose numbers of your work for a day on the priority basis, no need to rush for everything. It’s okay to do less numbers of work but in beautiful manner.
For example if you are cooking food ,Take your time ,put your heart and mind together at the present moment and enjoy every step with all your being. You will see the difference.
If you are having a cup of coffee, pay your attention to the aroma, taste of it, you are giving a bit of me time to yourself so enjoy it with full attention.
5- Be nice to yourself and others. It is the artistic way of living. When we are nice to ourselves and others, it makes life beautiful and easy.
6-Forgive others for their mistakes and forgive yourself also for the mistakes you did. Forgiving makes way for new and positive energy.
7-Compliment others for whatever good they have or done. Finding good in others is also artistic way to express ourselves.
8-Relax, we do not need to stress over everything. Every situation is not in our control, so relax and have hope for the best.
This list can be never ending. I hope the few points I could mention will Conway the way of artistic living.

I just acquired my senior citizen card. I don't like to be called a "senior citizen" but the card has it's privilege.:) At my age it is unavoidable to not look back to the past and see a lot of "what if" questions rising up in my mind. Do I have many regrets? The honest answer is "Yes, I do". But I'm also a pragmatic person and wallowing in self-pity is a waste of time. There are only a handful of rules of living. One of which you mention. Living in the moment. Accepting whatever life throws at you, both the ups and down.
I respect and understand your feelings. It is unavoidable to think about past and the dreams we could not work on, the targets we could not achieve but it is not beneficial to regret. Living in the moment allows us to forget the pain of past and enjoy the time and blessings we have right now. We still have a chance to make life more beautiful. More meaningful as we are still alive. We have a chance to leave something good for our next generation.
