Me and my dog just went for a late night walk and wound up dancing together in the street when a bop came on my playlist, so if you’re reading this, this is your sign to go do something completely random and silly for no other reason than that life is short, and you deserve to smile.

"Do not pursue what is past. Do not think of what is yet to come. The past has already been abandoned. The future has not yet arrived...cont.
Therefore, observe the present, Without wavering or moving, And practice with discernment.
Only try the hardest what needs to be done today. Who knows what death will bring tomorrow?" - Buddha (Majjhima Nikāya 131)
We cannot use time in the past that has passed. Nor can we use time in the future, which is yet to come. We can only use time in this day. Then let us not dwell on the past. Let us not worry about the future. Cherish this day. Live in the present moment. But not too much effort, live slowly and at ease.
Many of us, if we are poor, suffer from hardship and try to overcome it somehow. If you try to overcome poverty, you have to lead a life that is hard and frustrating.
That is no guarantee that you will overcome poverty.
Even if you do get rich, what is the point of living a life of toil, frustration and grind?
If you don't bother about being poor, if you live your life as it is, leisurely and joyfully, then maybe you'll get a chance becoming rich.
Of course, you may not.
Nevertheless, even if you don't, there is great value in a life lived in a relaxed, leisurely and joyful way.
That is the way of life Buddha is teaching us.
