Time

Time goes by really quickly and I think that's something that we don't realize. We don't realize that everyday there is so many things that we could be doing to get closer to our goals and who we want to be. Every day there is opportunity to change your life. People think that weeks and months are a long way away, but they aren't. 24 hours goes by pretty quickly when you think about it ... 7 days even faster... I don't even want to think about how quickly a year passes.

There are so many things that you hope to do and wish to do in your lifetime, yet you spend so much time wasting away doing things that you hate. Working a job that makes you miserable and being with people that don't bring out the best in you. 

Every once in a while, I think it's nice to stop from your routine and stop from being busy and just relax. Take a walk through the snow or take a walk in the rain and embrace your surroundings. Enjoy the blue sky or the rain drops hitting your skin. Listen to the way the snow crunches under your feet and just take a breather. Let the world slow down and let your brain take a break from the busyness of your life.
Sometimes it's nice to sit in a coffee shop alone and just watch the people around you. Make up stories about what they do and where they're from. What led them to this moment right now. Heck even start a random conversation.. you never know who you're going to meet or how they're going to effect your life.

Time is something that we take for granted. We think that there is so much time in the world and we put everything off and we keep putting things off and eventually we run out of time. Eventually we end up with this list of things that we've always wanted to and never took the time to do. We make up excuses about how busy we are and that we don't have the time. Yet our lives are the longest thing that we have, so why not make the most of them?

I think the best thing that anyone can do for themselves is to not only have a good relationship with themselves and love themselves for everything that they are... but to embrace and enjoy the things around them. Embrace the small things in life... because even if you see them everyday, you're not really seeing them until you make the world slow down and actually look.
