Take a moment

We try everyday to figure out how to live out our moments.  Asking and looking to each other for advice, and comfort, and most importantly the company we can offer each other.  I have seen over time, that the longer our days become, the more we look down at the time, the more we concern each other about what is, or what isn’t, the more we forget about whats here, what we truly share.  

Given the situations we share, the experiences, the changes we have to incur in our lives, which have either an immediate or delayed impact on our lives, I can definitely say that most of the time, it’s not our fault, at least at the moment of action.  But after realizing how things can go the other direction, for things that have never brought you happiness, but short reward, for things that have given you promise, but only limited fulfillment, for things that give you a way of life, for now, but not for later.  We can completely be shocked at what occurs, when we start to lose touch with what is truly important to our happiness, which usually has nothing to do with the things we are chasing. 

The important thing to remember is that, when you're not feeling any obligations, when you're not tied down to a situation, or anything that can pre-occupy your mind for that moment in time, it is only then when you truly realize what truly makes you happy.  It’s hard to notice must I remind you.  Our lives mold with so many things, that claim to be the catapults of the way we should define ourselves.  Our mind then feels the need to dedicate all our strength and power to those things or people, so that we are so-called successful.  But why, if all those things are things that were earned, when the things that come naturally are the things that were given to you by higher power.  Those are the things that define us, those are the reasons we are who were are, why we love, why we desire, dream, and build courage for the next day, the next person we meet.  It is the random things in life that we ignore, instead we are built more on a schedule in our generation, and in this schedule we forget about random acts of kindness, and love, instead we pay attention to the clock, when that person is late to the meeting, when someone comments on your picture on social media.  We lack so much for the brains we have, and although we have progressed to build massive ways to help lives, I am for certain we are forgetting about building on the power of what and who we are, lovers, care givers, kind, we are humans in case you forgot.

But with that being said, our scheduled and systematic lives are putting so much in jeopardy each day for us. Thats not the scary part of it all, the scary part if you wonder, is the fact that many of us don’t even notice or acknowledge the lack of humanity as a problem.

I believe the most important thing is to figure out what is truly important to you if you were to picture everything that has been given to you, gone.  What would you have left, what would you strive towards then, what would give you purpose to bring on the next day, the next hour, the next minute.  What in life would pressure you to feel like you have a deadline, like you did when you actually had them programmed in you to perform, what would drive you to do more, and what would success mean to you if the normal successes were nonexistent.  Yea, to be technically specific here this would truly never be the case, but if you imagine life without these things, the things you have forgotten about on most days, will come to light, and will give you the opportunity to savor them in anyway you can..

All you need is a few minutes, a few hours, maybe a few days or years, but to figure out who you are, who you want to become, and who you love, is incomparable to the things society tells you, builds you, makes you, and drives you to be who you are. 

Take a moment and embrace the real life for a little, is all I ask…

It will go a long way for you, it will show you, how life should be…

Truthfully,
