“Life is very short and anxious for those who forget the past, neglect the present, and fear the future.”
— Seneca

I quoted this because I believe Seneca gave us something more than a quote.
He gave us a diagnosis—and a remedy.

📉 Today, anxiety is not just emotional—it’s temporal.
We’ve lost our grip on time itself.

  • We scroll past the present.

  • We distort or discard the past.

  • We panic about the future.

And in that dislocation, life feels short… not because it is, but because we’re never in it.


🔍 Seneca’s Truth:

  • Forgetting the past? You lose your anchor.

  • Neglecting the present? You miss your only moment.

  • Fearing the future? You surrender your power to create it.

This isn’t just a personal crisis—it’s a cultural epidemic.

But there is a path forward. 🧭


💡 How to Reclaim Your Place in Time:

✅ Reconnect with your past—learn from it, don’t live in it.
✅ Be ruthlessly present—put down the phone, pick up your life.
✅ Imagine the future with courage—not dread.
✅ Make peace with time—you’re not behind, you’re becoming.
✅ Practice temporal integrity—live where you are, fully.


💬 Ask yourself daily:

  • Am I learning from my past?

  • Am I showing up for the now?

  • Am I designing a future I believe in?

That’s the rhythm of a grounded, meaningful life.

🕊️ We don’t need to run faster.
We need to arrive—fully, consciously, boldly.
