Living for the moment

In this busy stressful life( I accept that would be a bit of exaggeration ;) ) I can't help but think about what would be my next phase in life. As a result of which I feel I miss out the present pleasant moments in life . Even the moments that I have been eagerly waiting do arrive I just go about my routines without enjoying the occasion.An small get together event during the planning stage looks a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable one. But when the event actually occur I feel I just go thru my routine. Is that because I am preoccupied about some thought about my future or something that haunts me from the past.
So how difficult is to live for the present moment. How difficult is it to close your mind about the past or the future ? It's not possible to enjoy all the moments in life. But when the moments that we are eagerly awaiting for do come by we are just preoccupied by some other thought may be about the next occasion.
So the next time we have biriyani or a bite of dairy milk thoroughly relish its taste instead of getting preoccupied of what we could have done in the past or what should be done in the future. Now the question would be as to whether having biriyani or a bite of dairy milk are those awaited moments that I have been talking of ?

I know exactly what you mean. I think most of us go through this stage at the moment. Including me, i experience same thing most of time now. I wonder if i think about past or future.

We could call it Quarter-life crisis :P
