Being in the moment vs. Obsessions with capturing the moment

I definitely would agree that we are more focused on capturing the moment than we are focused on living in the moment. I definitely tend to take more photos for instagram instead of actually taking time to stop and admire the beauty before me. Our generation relies so much on technology and on our iPhones and that makes us so much more future-oriented. I also think our generation was brought up with the fact that we are always thinking ahead, whether it have a negative or positive connotation. I think we need to remind ourselves often to live in the moment, to enjoy what we are given and to admire the beauty around us even if we must look for it first. I know I'm definitely trying to start doing that too.
