Domhnall Gleeson Quotes

Be grateful for each moment we have and be happy, but more than anything live it fully.

Too many people go through life without pausing to enjoy what they have.

If we're not enjoying what we've got...and even if we do get 'more,' we won't enjoy that, either.

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

The future doesn't matter if I don't enjoy what's going on right now.

I think my favorite experience is whatever I'm doing now.

There's nothing I miss about anything in the whole wide world. The idea of missing something means you're not living in the moment. Every moment is good for something.

Life doesn't make any sense unless you can enjoy the journey, and sometimes I take that for granted.

Happiness is found by deeply experiencing the exact moment we are in.

I don't want to look back and be like, 'You had it all, and you weren't even present for it. You weren't able to enjoy it.' I want to be here, be now and be grateful.

I enjoy what I'm doing at the moment and try not to think too much about the future.

The true way to live is to enjoy every moment as it passes, and surely it is in the everyday things around us that the beauty of life lies.

The trouble with happiness is that it never notices itself.

It isn't the great big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little ones--I've discovered the true secret of happiness, Daddy, and that is to live in the now. Not to be for ever regretting the past, or anticipating the future; but to get the most that you can out of this very instant.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now.

How simple it is to see that we can only be happy now, and that there will never be a time when it is not now.

That man is never happy for the present is so true, that all his relief from unhappiness is only forgetting himself for a little while. Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.

There's no destination. There's no getting anywhere. There's just the going. The key to life is to make the going really fun. Because people that are like, “If I just get to this, then boom!” And then they get there and there's this dawning of an afterwards. Whereas I'm just always in the going. And it's not a frantic going like, “I gotta keep going or I'm gonna go nuts!” I can not do anything for weeks or months if I need to and just sit and read books or watch movies. I'm just as fine consuming and absorbing new art as I am trying to make it. But it's all in the going.

I’m beginning to think that you don’t find happiness from living your life looking ahead or back… that you find it when you look around.

People get too caught up in what they don't have and get bogged down as a result. There's joy in the present. It's important to just make the most of the these moments we have. Keep an eye on the future, but don't forget to enjoy NOW.

But I don't think of the future, or the past, I feast on the moment. This is the secret of happiness, but only reached now in middle age.

Had they known at these moments to be quietly joyful? Most likely not. People mostly did not know enough when they were living life that they were living it.

Don't evaluate your life in terms of achievements, trivial or monumental, along the way... Instead, wake up and appreciate everything you encounter along your path. Enjoy the flowers that are there for your pleasure. Tune in to the sunrise, the little children, the laughter, the rain, and the birds. Drink it all in... there is no way to happiness; happiness is the way.

Life is not only meant to be appreciated in retrospect ... There is something each day to embrace and cherish.
