How much time do you have?

Do you know when you will/are going to die?
Or did world statistics on average life expectancy fool you into thinking that you can live up to your 80s?
It is NOT confirmed that you may live up to your 80s or even 50s, so why does mankind have the mindset that they need to plan for the future, that there is always tomorrow.

For some, that tomorrow never comes! what makes you think that you wont be the next one?
And after/when you leave this world/this lifetime behind, will there be things, issues that you have failed to accomplish, to achieve or to do, in order to leave peacefully or guarantee a good rebirth?

New age authors have taught about living in the NOW, so did the Dharma.
Living in the present, with mindfulness and awareness, that beats living each and every day for the sake of tomorrow. In your pursuit for your happiness in the coming tomorrow, you might be missing out on the happiness and peace of today. Why would one choose to give up what is in front of you for something that you might never attain?

What you can find in today, is exactly the same as that in tomorrow....
