It is important to remember, every day, that everything is impermanent. All notions, things and people are impermanent. Sickness and loss are inevitable, so we must live in the moment to be truly fulfilled.

We can Savor our time in this life, every moment, every breath, every meal and every relationship with mindfulness.

The following statements can help guide us through the process of savoring our lives.

Please contemplate the 5 remembrances:

1. I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.

Our happiness resides in this moment. Please enjoy these words of advice from the Buddha about alleviating your suffering by living in the present:

Perceive things as they truly are

To live here and now, you must train yourself:

In the seen, there will be just the seen.

In the heard, just the heard.

In the sensed, just the sensed.

In the thought, just the thought.

That is the end of sorrow.

-The Buddha
