The title probably doesn\u2019t mean what you think it means. You may think it means \u201cHow to live longer.\u201d However, the meaning I intended to convey was \u201cHow to live your life longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the difference?<\/em><\/strong> Well, I don\u2019t overtly intend to prolong<\/strong> my life. Instead, I intend to make each year seem like a lifetime.<\/p>\n I believe I have uncovered many truths about how time works; especially in regards to life as a human.<\/p>\n In this post I aim to shed some light on this topic of time. I\u2019m sure you will be able to expand your mind with this information. Here we go ! <\/p>\n You only have this moment. Your entire life happens right here, right now. In fact, life itself can be viewed as this moment; for now is the only place that life can happen. As you read this text on this page, you are reading it in the moment. This moment is known as\u201dnow.\u201d<\/p>\n The moment is fleeting and illusory. The more of your own identity that you invest into this moment, the more suffering you will experience.<\/p>\n Interestingly enough, now cannot be accurately defined. This is because there is no way to divide up our experience of time into individual units that we can track. The best we seem to be able to do is divide up the natural cycles. For example, we know that a day always takes about the same amount of time. Knowing this, we can divide up a day into thousands of little pieces called seconds.<\/p>\n But what is a \u2018second\u2019 in actuality? A second is definitely not real.<\/em> A second is simply a mental construct. In nature, seconds don\u2019t exist. Only the now exists. By saying that a second is a mental construct, I don\u2019t mean to downplay it. The entire universe<\/em> is a mental construct. So don\u2019t get me wrong. Seconds are cool. <\/p>\n If you\u2019ve never thought about these kind of things. Now is the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n Did you ever wonder why sometimes, time seems to fly, while other times, time seems to last forever?<\/p>\n This may be due to your beliefs about the moment you happen to find yourself experiencing. When you enjoy<\/em> an experience and you are living in the moment, time tends to compress (go faster). When you dislike<\/em> and experience and you fear the moment, time tends to extend (last longer).<\/p>\n Lets say you were sitting in a class room. But, you don\u2019t want to have that<\/em> experience; instead, you want to be with your friends and have fun. You view this experience in the classroom as somewhat painful, annoying, and pointless.<\/p>\n Your experience in this classroom, as you sit there watching the clock, waiting for it to be over, will be quite long. It may seem like the class is never<\/strong> going to end. This is because you view the moment you are in as something to be avoided.<\/p>\n On the flip side, when you are having a great time with your friends and you never want the moment to end, 5 hours seems to fly by like it\u2019s going out of style<\/strong>. It\u2019s actually pretty funny!<\/p>\n What you can actually do is combine the benefits of both of these examples into one experience. You can have a seemingly long experience, but instead of experiencing pain, you can experience joy!<\/p>\n You can do this by changing your momentary experience<\/strong> as often as possible. You need to be experiencing your life in as many different good ways as possible. Experience your life differently every day. The key here is that the more separate experiences you can create throughout a day. month, year, etc, the more \u201cfilled\u201d that period of time will seem in your memory.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know about you, but I want to have days that seem like they last a long time while simultaneously doing things that I love. To do that, I need to fill my time with as many different individual events and good <\/em>experiences as possible.<\/p>\n I\u2019m on the fast track to a five-figure monthly income by posting these daily blog posts.
