Most of us would agree that we all live busy demanding lives. It’s easy to get lost in the soup and lose sight of many of the things that are important to us. When we are caught up with all the events, demands, and details of our lives we lose our perspective and a part of ourselves.
Missing Moments
We all know how easy it is to miss the subtle details and moments of life when we are ultra busy. We may miss the roses blooming in our front yard, in a rush to get to the car and leave for work. We may also miss more significant events like our son’s first football game. When we are ultra-busy we neglect to slow down and inspect our lives. We live each day on the run, trying to get to the next even or obligation.
The Power in Rediscovering the Moments
Unfortunately, it often takes missing some important moment or event for us to realize how caught up and detached we are from the moments in our lives. However, the beauty in these moments of stark realization is the opportunity to change direction. This opportunity is often illuminated because we begin to realize how many precious moments we’ve lost. At this point, we naturally slow down for fear of missing another precious moment.
A New Approach
Regardless of what we’re involved with, looking for endoscope repair companies or searching for a new job, we learn to take the time to pay more attention to the moments in our life. We no longer let the excuse of being busy prevent us from taking part and bearing witness to many of the special moments in our lives. Perhaps it’s because we realize that many of the moments we experience are once in a lifetime moments, like your baby’s first steps.
The simple yet powerful truth is that many of the moments in our lives are the once in a lifetime kind. This is why it’s important to slow down enough to recognize these moments and bear witness to them. When we do this, we find that life becomes fuller and more enjoyable. Our memories become more vivid and sentimental to us as well. Life is busy for most of us. However, we can’t let life become so busy that we miss the most important parts of it.
