I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.

Hi :)
Beautiful picture with very inspiring words.
Most of us live in the past or worry about the future and forget to live in the present and enjoy it. As the saying goes THE PAST IS A CANCELLED CHEQUE, THE FUTURE IS A PROMISSORY NOTE AND ONLY THE PRESENT IS READY CASH.
We are so engrossed in our daily routine activities that we don't even have a moment to see a child laugh, a sun set or look at the beauty of a flower and so on.
Ultimately time flies, the young person becomes old only to sit and regret over the life gone by without enjoying.
Very interesting and thought provoking post and an equally enchanting photo.
Have a good day :)
You speak very wise words there Joseph. Welcome to Musings :-)
I agree! Beautiiful painting.
As always, delightful art with well thought messages.
LOVE this one. More so than usual.
Thank you :-)
I must admit I wish I could paint like this but, as an excellent second option, I am glad I can share it :-)
Thanks to you all
