An Important Life Lesson From the Movie ‘Titanic’

Titanic is one of those classic movies that is very close to my heart. I have watched it several times, and each time, it makes me smile and also makes me cry. It gives us a glimpse of reality. The reality of life. Although there are several life lessons we can learn from the movie Titanic, here I will only focus on the most important life lesson. The lesson that should be lived every day, every moment of your life.

Savour this moment. Embrace it gracefully.

Life is a series of moments and the next moment is promised to no one. Life will always be uncertain. You never know when a joyful evening can turn into a disastrous dark night. Cherish the present moment. Live it fully. Make it count. Make each moment special.

Life is in the Now. Live in the Now. Live this moment. Do not wait for the right time. Do it now. Do what you love. Follow your heart. Go after your dreams. Time is going on. This time will never come back. The clock is ticking. And the harsh reality is that death is approaching every moment.

As Mel Robbins explained in one of her podcast episodes about life, she said life is like a melting ice cube and with each moment, the ice cube melts a bit more. At some point, the ice cube will melt completely and the time of our life will also end. So, before the ice melts out, make the most of every moment you have.

We often postpone our happiness for later. And mostly the later becomes never. We spend lives instead of living them. This is not a good way to live. We think we will celebrate when we have achieved something. But then the target changes. And we never celebrate.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking. — Marcus Aurelius

Every breath, every moment of your life is a reason to celebrate. No matter whether you have something or not, life itself is a gift. Life itself is a blessing. Whatever you have, embrace it gracefully and be happy.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life. — Eckhart Tolle

This moment is all you ever have. Your life can never be outside this moment. Do not lament over the past. It can never be undone. Stop regretting it. Do not worry about the future. You never know what life holds next for you. You have no control over your next breath. So, why worry?

Make each day count. Live it before you lose it. Live every moment as if it’s your last. Savour it. Cherish it. Be happy now. Celebrate life.
