- Haruki Murakami

About this Quote

This quote by Haruki Murakami speaks to the transient nature of life. Nothing is irreversible, and nothing is ensured. We should accept that whatever passes, which nothing is ours to keep. This implies that we need to reside in the present moment, valuing what we have and maximizing our time. We need to be mindful of our actions and the impact they have on our lives and the lives of others. We need to also be gotten ready for change and accept that life is unpredictable. We should be open to brand-new experiences and opportunities, and be willing to let go of things that no longer serve us. Living in by doing this permits us to maximize our lives and to find happiness in today.
