Stop And Take Stock

by allinspiration.com

One prevalent feature of our modern day lives is that we are always so busy, always doing something, always running and never walking or just standing still, let alone dancing.

For once, stop running for awhile. Walk slowly. Or just stay where you are. Think. And then look around. Think again - are you closer to where you want to be than you think? Or, better still, are you already where you want to be?

Are you working too hard, and forgetting to smell the roses? Are you working so hard for tomorrow, that you forget today? Are you neglecting the people who mean the world to you?

Rather than always wanting more, give yourself credit for what you have already accomplished. Rather than chasing imaginary goals which you had never set for yourself, goals that exist as a result of peer and worldly pressures instead of what you truly want, live the present moment.

Live the present. It's a gift. And it doesn't last forever.
