capture a moment

I think we all realize that life is fast.

You blink and you jump from thursday to Monday.

In the american setting, we're all about speed and connectivity. We wake up at the crack of dawn or earlier, hit the motorway and fight brutal traffic to reach work in time. Once at our desks, we work at a furious pace, eating a microwavable burrito for lunch. Finally, when we have reach our exhaustive point, we depart our office feeling like we accomplished all that we should have, and we head for home (in rush hour traffic).

We are always in a hurry, trying to get to the next place.

So, I implore you to stop. Stop rushing.

Stop and capture a moment. Instead of rushing around doing errands on Saturday, go to the park, lay in the grass and watch kids play in the sun.

Find a beautiful garden and admire the wonder of flowers and their unique colors.

Buy a brush and paint a picture.

Run a mile (or walk)

Call an old friend who doesn't expect who hear from you

Soak it in. The moment will be gone soon. Life is not measured in quantity, but quality.

Do you have 1000 relationships that mean next to nothing or 10 friends that you would risk next to everything for?

Stop, capture a moment.
