Everyone is so wrapped up in their own life that they don’t take the time to slow down and see what’s really going on. Today’s world is go go go, and some people think you’re lazy if you actually stop to enjoy the day. Those people can kiss my ass! Smelling a flower, listening to someone play music on the sidewalk, and watching little kids run around and play are just some of the things we take for granted every day.
Remember what it was like to smile and watch someone else smile. Well if you don’t remember it’s because you don’t smile enough. Yesterday I was leaving class and there was a band playing in the quad of the university. I was in a hurry to get home and I almost didn’t stop. I love live music, but I was going to let other things get in the way of letting me stop and enjoy the beautiful sound of talented musicians. I’m glad I rethought my decision as I walked by because now I’m typing a blog, smiling, relaxing, listening to great local musicians, and watching families spend time together. Just taking a minute to slow down has made my day 10 times better. You should try it.
The key to success and life is to slow down. If you are going too fast you will never truly find what you are looking for. If you slow down, take it all in, really look at yourself, and what you want, you will find it without all the hustle and bustle. Money will always be there, but slowing down and finding happiness will make everything else in your life more fulfilling. Stop whatever you’re doing, take a breath, look around, smile and go do something you really enjoy. Have a good rest of your day!!
