Living in this new fast-paced digital world, where you answer you text messages, your IM’s, your Facebooks, etc… We keep trying to achieve and achieve more and more. But do you ever stop and wonder why? I see all the time the culture of more and more and faster and faster.
I say what is achievement without appreciation and validation? Too many time these busy-bodies boast about task and task completed. But, do they every stop and reflect upon what they are actually accomplishment? We are all guilty of this at work and school. We do and do and react, and put blinders on and feel we have accomplished something? What in the bigger picture, department, company, society, family, the world, have we actually accomplished.
Are we just not hamsters in a wheel running, running, and stressing about whether we will get there fast enough? We often look to better cars, better desks, better computers, better gadgets, to supposedly get us that promotion, build that hit website, or write that award-winning novel. We live in a world of hustle padded with excuses. This will sound corny and repetitious…but take time to sit down and reflect. Enjoy the small battles that you have won and not the war. Smell that fresh baked bread and slowly enjoy its texture and softness. Sit and look at that girl in front of you and see how beautiful life is because she is there and looking back. All-in-all enjoy the little things in life, because it is those that you will remember on your deathbed. Sit and stare at that beautiful old book that your father gave you. Look out the window and remember what a miracle life is. Remember your connections in life are all that is valuable and that money and cars mean nothing.
Come on and step off that wheel…...with me……...
