Enjoy the simple things - Often it's far too easy for us to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of things. It's as though we move faster and faster in fear that our goals and dreams will leave us
behind. My friend I assure you this will not happen.What will happen however (and likely already is at this very moment) is that many of life's little miracles are happening right before your eye's. Yet do to our inability to slow down enough to enjoy them we're missing out. 


We think that all happiness lies in the future. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being goal minded. However, the problem comes in, as the saying so eloquently illustrates "When we can't see the forest for the trees". I hope that the next time you catch yourself running 90 to nothing' that you'll stop for just a second to remind yourself that true happiness is as much being grounded in the now as it is in working towards achieving your goals.


My friend, find the balance between the two and you'll find amazing personal satisfaction. It's not an easy task to undertake, but I assure you it's one of the most rewarding journeys you'll endure.


You'll notice more of the simple things. Rather than rushing through the airport to catch that flight you'll stop to simply enjoy your surroundings. You'll strike up more conversations with perfect strangers (if we take the time to ask we would be amazed at how willing others would be to share there life experiences with us). You'll see the beauty in the changing colors of the leaves. The simple things that we take for granted will become more important to us. Above all else, you'll enjoy this wonderful journey known as life much more.


I hope your day is filled with many of life's small miracles.
 
DO ONTO OTHERS AS YOU WILL ACCEPT THEM IN RETURN. DO YOUR BEST AND LIVE THEREST TAKING CARE FOR ITSELF
