"Living itself is dying, because we don´t have a single day more in our lives that we don´t have, thereon, a day less in it." Fernando Pessoa
Living is always an inedited activity, for no life is equal to another, no matter how similar.
We receive our lives without instructions for use, if not for the help of our bearers, we would not survive or would do it precariously. We receive from our parents, or bearers, the values that will guide our first steps. On the long run, we will add to such values those learnt from other people, and also acquired through our own experience. This baggage will consolidate as our life skills.
Our perception of the reality is influenced by the space, time and affective condition and will improve according to our interaction with others, which can take place by way of the coexistence, the reading, the cinema, the television, and so on, being absorbed through the filter of our imagination. Our life, therefore, does not enframe within exact parameters; it is at the same time real and unreal.
Divided into past, present and future, it can frequently be distorted due to deviations of the understanding of such phases. It is the case of the person who is stuck to the past, missing precious opportunities to experience the present; or that one who is so worried about the future that sacrifices the present preparing itself for the days to come.
How to learn to live in a full and satisfactory manner? Although there is no strict recipe to be followed, there is an effective indicator, which is the common sense. For a balanced life it is important to observe each new situation and act in a way to best solve the adversities, without deploring the losses, and take the maximum profit from the good opportunities, keeping in mind that both adversities and good opportunities are transient.
Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. Remember that life allows no sketch, nor trial: what is done is done! Have in mind that each day is one day less.

Do not to get stuck to the past, using it only as a reference not to make the same mistakes, and do not let yourself to be guided by grudges and repressions. Do not pay excessive attention to the future, most or our plans may not outcome as expected.
As the saying goes: "A man proposes, but God disposes."
