I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness, like holding the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Perhaps you have some untapped talent you may regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
When was the last time you weren’t in a rush?
Rushing causes us to miss out on so much. There is so much beauty around us, yet we don’t focus on it enough.
Hence the saying, “Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses.”
Unfortunately, many of us are so busy we do not have enough time for leisurely drives or walks. We often rush out the door to get the kids to school or work on time. We rush home to prepare our evening meal and prepare for the next day.
On our days off, we rush to shop and clean, hoping to have a few minutes to relax. Life has become one big rush.
When did you last give yourself the luxury of a long bath, a meandering walk, or a drive? These are moments we need to slow down and smell the roses. To experience and appreciate life.
While it can be hard to slow down and give ourselves some extra time, we owe it to ourselves to do just that.
Today’s challenge:
Take your time today and enjoy the beauty around you.
