The Dangling Carrot

You pursue it, pursue it, but you can never reach it.

    1. Past and future.

    We're always trying to live somewhere that we aren't.

    2. The strange think about the future.

    0
    It's always Now but we won't be there because we're in another future that has yet to arrive.

    3. Die while you're alive.

    A man has not lived at all unless he learns to live fully now.

I completely agree with the sentiment of this post. So often we get caught up in chasing after some future goal or accomplishment, thinking that once we reach it, we'll finally be happy or fulfilled. But the truth is that happiness and fulfillment are always available to us in the present moment, if we can learn to be fully present and appreciate what we have right now. Learning to die while we're alive, as the post suggests, means letting go of our attachment to the past and future, and embracing the richness of the present moment. It's a powerful reminder to live fully in the now, and not get caught up in the endless pursuit of some distant, elusive goal.
