In recent months, I have been fortunate enough to experience powerful emotions while designing and then implementing several projects in very different contexts and sectors.
As I write these lines, I'm packing my bags before going on vacation, a couple of weeks of well-deserved rest and a change of pace.
Last night I reflected a lot on the moment I'm living through, and I think I've come to understand the true meaning of the word "present." The present isn't a term used to define time; it's much more.
The present can be considered a gift, what life offers us by being alive now. Of course, the past is essential for building the paths that guide us along a life path, for building on principles and roots that help us become worthy individuals.
But the present, this wonderful gift, is the hour, the now! It is the most important gift we have been given, because it is now that we are alive and truly ourselves, amidst this wonderful reality that is life.
We don't know if we'll still be here after, so our time is now, it's now!
Let's not waste time on unnecessary frills, relationships, or activities that keep us from feeling alive, because there is nothing worse than being dead at the very moment we are given this gift—a present in which we are alive.
Since we are creatures capable of proliferating, it is clear that each of us must try to be alive in the present, especially within our own family context. If each of us, before worrying about others, instead worried about this urgent need, then the world would be a better place and at peace.
