How often do we look at the big picture? How often do we plan for what is next? So often we are looking too much in the future and are missing what is in front of us at this moment.
Yes we can work 5 days a week to make a paycheck and just think about saving money and about the future. But what we can't forget about is the here and now. What is happening around us at this very moment. To become able to appreciate our future when the future comes, we have to take time to absorb the present.
Life can throw so many curves at us and we don't really know what tomorrow brings, so we just need to take time every day and soak in what is around us. Is it the beautiful colors of the fall leaves? The hug from a nephew? a smile from a friend? a laugh that makes your belly hurt? We need to take time to have those moments and not always be running.
We just need to take time, because at the end are we going to wish that we had more money? Or are we going to wish that we had spent more time smelling the roses, or had spent more time with family and friends?
Life is the little things, and the big things will fall into place
