Ichigo Ichie: 10 Rules Of The Japanese Way To Happiness

From Around The Web

Live in the moment. Easier said than done right? Yes, but it doesn’t have to be. The Japanese philosophy ichigo ichie encourages us to focus on the present in order to lead a happier, more fulfilled life without feeling troubled by the past or anxious about the future. Ichigo ichie can be translated as “Once, a meeting” and “In this moment, an opportunity.”

What this means to tell us is that each meeting, everything we experience, is a unique treasure that will never be repeated in the same way again. So if we let it slip away without enjoying it, the moment will be lost forever.
