"L'éternité est composée de maintenant"
— Emily Dickinson

Simplified Meaning:
Everything we experience in life is made up of individual moments happening right now. Rather than thinking of forever as a distant, endless period, it's actually a series of present moments put together. For example, consider building a house; it's done brick by brick, with each moment of placing a brick contributing to the entire structure. Similarly, our lives are built moment by moment. To make the most out of life, we should focus on what we're doing right now instead of getting caught up in worrying about the distant future. So, if you want a happy life, put effort into making each moment meaningful and positive.
