"We are always getting ready to live but never living"
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
About this Quote
This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson speaks to the idea that life is often spent in anticipation of something that never ever actually comes. We are constantly getting ready for the future, making plans and setting objectives, but we often forget to reside in today moment. We are so focused on what is to come that we forget to value what we have right now. We are so busy preparing to live that we forget to actually live. This quote motivates us to take a step back and appreciate today minute. It reminds us to take time to enjoy the little things in life and to make the most of every day. Life is too short to spend it in anticipation of something that might never come. We need to make every effort to maximize every minute and to live life to the fullest.
