"you can't live at all unless you can live fully now" Wonderful 👍😊!!

[arwenmerlin]

my goodness this philosopher has changed me a lot

[Samofalov]

I am 33 and I am listening for Alan Watts more than 12 years now.
I know most of his phrases, but I am still listening.

[joemoore]

I like his message here. We’re always in the cycle of “once I get this I’ll be happy”, might as well just try out best to be happy now. Tomorrow is never promised in fact

[atrain]

I wacth his speeches everyday in the morning before I go the gym this man has hepled though a lot I wish there was a way to tell him thank you even though he died in 1973 still in 2023 his words still hit heavy

[cousin_JACK]

I’m 35 and all i do is live in my head, constantly thinking if the future and beating my self up for my past it’s harder to let go than one thinks

"Don't become so busy making a living that you forget to live your life."

Such a legendary Philosopher, Alan Watts will always be an inspiration.

“There seems to be a ladder in front of you, something for which you’re reaching all the time”. Wow that perfectly sums up what life feels like here. I am working on trying to be present and not chase things, but rather enjoy the moment and attract things.

[SN-hgbx]

I had never seen the young Alan. Wow!!! So wise for his years!!

One day, I was studying for a biology exam in college and all of a sudden I got my first anxiety attack- I was a pre major in college and those anxiety attacks that followed really woke up me. I asked myself, “girl, is this what you really want in life?Stressed out over grades? No life? Just work?” Nonetheless, med school was not my path. I had to do some real digging in who I was and what I really wanted - most important what was my purpose in this life.

[marialantigua]

I had the same thought and that’s why I left high school, I need to find out what this life is, i couldn’t focus on school, of course most of us don’t fit in. And now I know so much about this I don’t regret not finishing high school.

Everything is working out so well for me 😅 I was scared when I made my decision but I knew that I would gain more from doing that. I thought “if I am depressed and stressed out now, imagine how it’s going to be later. Now look people say college is a scam I got my diploma for high school in 3 months. I started work at 17 and my life has more growth then I could have imagined, I didn’t waste anytime and then Covid hit and I laughed so hard 😅 because it was all perfect timing. These it’s all perfect I couldn’t have made a better choice then that one. Life is always going to be a bit difficult sometimes but that stuff never lasts, everything works out, baby steps take you far.

😂😂😂 I am someone that never fell for that, yet have still managed to get great jobs my way. In my 40’s I realised that I’m too bossy to be a boss, I’m not a team player, but worked well for myself. With love and integrity ♥️♥️

[SierraGax]

This is what I need to accept but have been unable too. I’ve had an cheonic illness that leaves me in pain and constantly passing loose stool with blood. It’s been almost a decade since my diagnosis and still I somehow convince myself that I won’t have a life until my symptoms are under control. That day may never come. I need to accept my reality and make the best of it but I don’t know how.

[Fritz_Lost_Sanity]

Alan hits the nail on the head, and it wasn’t until I discovered his material that I realized he was describing me.

You’re going to constantly evolve in your life. There is no great moment where you get to your “achieved” self. If you’re constantly looking to the future and thinking “I’m going to get there one day, ” you’re literally not paying attention to now.

And considering that tomorrow is never guaranteed—even if you have deep belief in an afterlife or your consciousness continuing, all you have in the present state of you is now. Dream, love, appreciate, breathe, and live.

[IamChevalier]

Always believed -
'Live in the moment -- Plan for the future &
Learn from the past...'

[ulisescuellar]

I heard this excerpt about 5 years ago from "out of your mind" , it seemed philosophical, now at 31 years old, having a successful career and a wife and house, I feel the true strength of his words, I feel blessed finding this out now instead of 40-45 when it's too late to enjoy your kids, thankfully mine are only 1 and 3

[Nuggetsjourney]

I’m 42, I realized this 12 months ago, I’ve sold almost everything and I’ll live out of a backpack and retire early to south east Asia, I’m not giving one more minute to the western ideology of servitude… the system was always rigged but I’m breaking free of it now, so long, goodbye… life starts for me today ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Figured this out before I left elementary school. Saw my dad. Worked every day. Miserable. I knew that wasn't it.
