All the moments in between Inspiration, quotes
|
“There was a period in my life when I did not have a clue about who or what I wanted to be. I was completely disconnected from whatever talents I might have had. I was fortune enough to meet Bob Patino, an interior designer who become a mentor to me. Very quickly, I found a direction and a career.
I immersed myself in work, and the years flew by. I was continually looking for the next job, the next challenge. The one constant in my schedule was an annual trip. Every December I visited some exotic destination. This was adventure travel, and it usually did not involve luxury hotels or pampering. The point was to get closer to another culture.
One year I was in the Himalayas, hiking through a rhododendron forest…The views were incredible, but the mountain path was more suited to goats than to people…I was looking at the steep incline coming up and thinking about how I hate going uphill. When was it going to be lunchtime?…
All of a sudden a light bulb went off in my head. The clouds just parted, the sun came out, and I can feel the warmth on my skin. Why don’t I enjoy it, instead of worrying about what’s up ahead?
The future will always be just out of reach. You’ll get there eventually…But in the meantime, don’t miss the here and now. Live in the moment. That’s what’s important. What I am doing today? How can I use my energies?
I don’t pretend to have absorbed this message completely, but I’m trying. There is always a before and an after; but the point is to be present and aware for all the moments in between.”
Vicente Wolf, “Lifting the Curtain on Design“

I love your blog! It’s one of those positive, smart places I enjoy coming to. I loved this book and the photographs. I highly recommend Vicente Wolf’s “Crossing Boundaries” too.
So true, but I think there is a danger in living too much ‘in the moment’. There needs to be balance between enjoying the immediacy of the present and planning for a fantastic future.
I loved your inspirational post and the photograph you picked to represent your thoughts.
EXCELLENT! Thanks so much for this helpful inspiration. There’s so much truth in these words! I’m going to explore more of Vincent Wolf’s work for this quote has shaken me a lot. A huge hug and my best wishes for you! XoXo
Very inspirational and wise words indeed.
Thanks for sharing!

Gut gesagt! Ich warte leider immmer noch auf meinen ‘light bulb moment”.
Smart words. Did you watch the movie The Black Narcissus? It was set in the Himalayan and the interiors of the places are unbelievable. It’s considered on the the top best movie interiors.
P.S Nice to meet you and thanks for commenting in my blog. Have good week.

Live in the moment … that’s hard for a planner and daydreamer like me. But I’m trying, oh I’m trying.
