morrie, live the moment with no regrets

." An old man, A young man, and Life's greatest lesson".
 
Morrie a one of a kind teacher who taught his students its not all about living with materialistic items, but to love and live in the moment you live in right now. To have a meaning and purpose in your life to have something you looked forward to each day and go for it without any regrets. see the beauty of the world, is what he taught Mitch his fellow student who he also calls his friend. As Mitch tries to spend every last second with Morrie and the last moments of his life before he is gone, As he visits every Tuesday to learn a new lesson. A lesson how to love, to find a purpose, meaning and always see the brighter in things when things are rough. Even teaching Mitch when you think of death it opens your eyes to seeing the best and beauty of things, to enjoy and live life to the fullest even though there's obstacles in your way, because there's always something waiting for you ahead that's going to make everything better. Even though Mitch noticed how sick and sicker Morrie got, he always noticed how Morrie had a smile and always a positive perspective no matter how much in pain he was dealing with. As his passion for dancing and music got stronger as well as he started to enjoy all the little things more and more with passion. As Morrie put it "without love we are a bird with broken wings" because love is what gives us purpose in meaning in life, we have to learn to have emotions care about non materialistic items as they are not always going to satisfy us. Mitch was given a life changing experience with his professor before he had to move on. As we also shouldn't cling on to things so long, because not a lot of things last, death is something everyone has to face in there life. Death is something that we have to accept,As we have to treat everyday like its our last and enjoy and love every little thing in our life because we will never know when its going to be our last. live , love and smile.

" so many people walk around with meaningless life. them seem half asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. this is because they're chasing the wrong things. the way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning"-pg.43 Tuesdays With Morrie
