I got this philosophy from the movie, “Kung Fu Panda”. I was inspired by this philosophy by “Master Oogway” a character in the movie. What I understand about this is, we should treasure every moment we have right now. We should be thankful for the present whether it is good or bad. If you examine it carefully, it really has a sense; normally we don’t see what we have and what we are right now. Just like the gift and the present in the philosophy, they are the same yet they have different gravity of impact to the readers and viewers. That it is what the philosophy is trying to tell us, we tend to overcome or ignore everything we have right now because we focus more on the future and sometimes we wish we could just go back to the past. Right? It really strikes me, because I tend to focus and worry a lot of what’s going to happen for tomorrow. Its like tomorrow is really a big deal for me, and what happens is I forgot of what is today. Sometimes, I do really wish I could go back, but I only wish that because I want to correct my mistakes for all the people I’ve hurt in the past. But I know, no matter how many wishes I make, things would never be the same, I could never turn back time. This is exactly the main point of Master Oogway to Panda and for everybody else, we can never turn back time, and no matter how much we plan for our tomorrow it will always change because anything can happen. What is important right now is TODAY. Focus on the present, it is a gift, we are just the once who don’t value and see it as a gift. If we could only look closer, enjoy, value and be thankful with everything we have right now, there’s a saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and then it is indeed a gift. It relies on us on how we look up to it. Whether it is good or bad one, small or big, plenty and less, it is still a present. You know why? Because we are very lucky we get to have everyday a today, other woke up they cant have their today, so as early as now, while we are young and strong enjoy and have fun. See the brighter future, if we just treasure our present and value it as a gift, we would never experience regrets, pains and sorrows and we will never wish to go back on our past. As what most people say, live as if it were your last. Never mind for tomorrow, because no matter how much we planned for it, it will always change because we don’t know what’s going to happen next. Just always treasure everything you have right now.
