Enjoy The Moment [EVEN IF It's Hard]

Enjoy The Moment [EVEN IF It's Hard]

In my daily browsing today, I stumbled across a heart-punching story about the late YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki.  She died last August from lung cancer [despite her admission that she NEVER smoked and NEVER manifested symptoms of her illness NOT until she got diagnosed with it.  And two months before she died, she recorded a short video [which upon her instructions, it can only be released only 'months after her death'].  Without playing here that heart stomping video, her very practical but very relevant advice to us all was this one:  Enjoy The Moment [EVEN IF It's Hard].  She then admitted how life can be mysterious, with all the twists and turns NO ONE amongst us can predict OR anticipate📗📙📘

Her very insightful words shared to us all revolves around the fact that almost all of us are too engaged with one too many priorities in life.  In the end, we tend to miss life itself, the very MOMENT, the PRESENT.  Very true, many of us get hostaged OR at least embroiled in that punishing 'rat race'.  WHAT happens next?  We end up missing to enjoy the MOMENT, the very PRESENT, the NOW📌📌📌

Ironically, Warren Buffett, the world's 6th ranked billionaire [based on the latest 2024 ranking] celebrated his 94th birthday BUT instead of having all the parties and celebrations, he amended his hitherto issued inheritance instructions to bequeath 99% of his $130+ Billion wealth to the four family foundations.  Anticipating that his three children [WHO were designated to administer in bequeathing 99% of his wealth] were already aged 66, 69 and 71 to date, he designated additional administrators [just in case his children would not last long enough]😔😔😔

Going back to the very kind words from the late YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, she DIDN'T mince words that the most precious and treasured moments we should cherish and enjoy is the NOW, the PRESENT.  Before she died, she already got hit very badly WHEN his son died earlier.  And WHEN she died months after, that was a painful 'double whammy' to her bereaved family.  The question is: Is your MIND FULL???  Or MINDFUL???

Our takeaway:  All these shared narratives from the late YouTube CEO and even from Warren Buffett [WHO's still very much alive and healthy with all his cognitive capabilities still in 'A' mode, I believe that in case some of us are still missing that point of enjoying the MOMENT, the PRESENT, the NOW, it is NOT too late to rectify ourselves and think about all these.  With the way life can be unpredictable, we never know WHEN the next twist and turn will happen.  YES dude, EVEN IF IT'S HARD, ENJOY THE MOMENT, ENJOY THE PRESENT, ENJOY THE NOW!!!
