Just slow down a bit..

Let the pace life sets for you tick to its own stopwatch. In your frantic rush to get things done quickly, you’ll miss out on the smaller moments that often have the most profound impact. Take a minute or two to sit back and breathe. Let time stand still, don’t take the one second of free time in your day for granted.

Enjoy being alone, listening to the sounds of silence, feeling your heart beat steadily. You’ll never truly understand the positive calming effect that 5 minutes can have on the rest of your day until you allow yourself to soak it in. Later, when you’re racing the clock for a deadline at work or running errands in rush hour traffic, you’ll cherish that brief moment of serenity.

A relatively broad concept, living for the moment is what you make of it.  The principle here is that the events that compromise a lifetime are fleeing and we may miss out on some of the beautiful life’s offerings, should we choose to ignore them. There is so much life to live outside of the office or the home. Clichés exist because more often than not, they hold a significant degree of truth and logic.
Life is in fact short, so why rush it?
