WHERE ARE YOU GOING IN SUCH A RUSH?


Recently I heard a friend of mine saying…Have you noticed the difference between frequency of traffic lights changing and the frequency of a car’s blinking lights to either turn right of left? She had noticed that before all those lights were little slower but now they move really fast like all of us.

People today have forgotten to think about where they want to go and why they want to go there. Instead they focus on just getting there.  Have you taken your time lately to think if the direction you are going is the right one?

Most of the time we are distracted trying to live as if it were no tomorrow. We are always running, always looking for shortcuts to get us there sooner, always focused on just getting there and not on enjoying the journey. Maybe all of us will soon become ill just because of the fast pace we are all living.  Have you sat with your children or a good friend lately? When was the last time you really took the time to enjoy a good meal or simply admire a nice sunset?

I think we can all accomplish something meaningful by learning how to live more slowly and reducing the ridiculous number of trivial tasks we race around trying to check off each day. Instead, we should give priority to accomplishing the truly important ones without having the mentality that the more you do it the better.

Take a moment to enjoy and take pride in every single thing you do. Focus on doing the right things at the right moment.  By doing this, it will allow you to achieve better and more meaningful results.

It's all about LIVING. But living at a good pace so that we live longer and healthier lives.

As for me, I will try to take baby steps and do a few things differently teach day than I did in the past.  I will slow down. I will take time to breath. I will take time to ENJOY life.  Life is not a race but an adventure but only if we take the time to pay attention to how we get there and why we wanted to get there in the first place.
