Its been a while since I've posted on my blog , I've been occupied with some life changing experiences that I thought I should share with you.
I have predominantly been a person who loves to do anything that life throws at me. So much that I would stretch myself so thin as to be totally stressed and overcommitted to doing so many things at the same time.
This has been an ongoing process for many years till a few months ago when I came across an article that screamed out to me .......THINK.
And I realised that although I have going through my life fulfilling all my responsibilities as a mother, wife, daughter in law ever so mechanically, that I have stopped thinking. And when I mean not thinking, I really mean deep thought,self introspective and soul searching thought that evaluates your life and shows you exactly where you stand.
How many of us stop and think....really ? Think about all the things we do on a regular routine, or things we intend to do for our future. We only stop to think we we come across an obstacle on our journey of life, and that very obstacle demands our attention and forces us to think.
We are so consumed by being busy that we do not realise our folly of not thinking.The mechanical living have made us less humane.We have become materialistic and self obsessed.The generation after us are a higher degree of materialism and mechanical living.
It's like going to the bus station and getting on the first bus we see without even deciding where we really want to go. Most of us are running, running and running to places we don't even know why we need to be there in the first place. Some others are just overwhelmed by the fast paced life that they don't even stop to enjoy life and all its moments.
Does life need to be so fast...? Do we need to keep running as fast...? Would it really hurt to slow down a little and breathe deeply and take it all in step by step. Would it really be horrible if we stopped the clock for just a little while.
Seriously friends, I do believe that it is important to stop running so much and probably walk through life, pausing at times to take in the surroundings,smell the flowers and revel in the beauty of the surroundings. and maybe we could think as well, on how we could enrich our lives in every aspect we possibly could.
Slowing down doesn't mean we are stopping, it just means we are thinking before we take the next step.
