Kid you not, it is really wonderful it is and at the end you will make it yours too. It's no shoes, fur coat or bag this time, but that doesn't mean you can't be fabulous.
Are you of the "You don't say your wishes loud, or they won't come true" family? I am and it won't matter, because my n.1 wish is available in endless quantity fo everyone.
As a matter of facts, we have it in our hands everyday and we tend to dismiss it as a good that you can ignore.
Do you laugh at least once a day? (Yeah, not one apple, one laugh).
Do you set the table and sit down for dinner with your family?
Ever thought of switching the phone off at lunch break and read a chapter or two of that book you have been wanting to finish?
When's the last time you went for a stroll in the park? Or to the beach (never remember this and i live at the beach!)
Have you ever stopped to count the rice? [READ the STORY]
“We must stop living a life where we have no time”
How many of the questions above you answered with: "I wish I'd have the time?". Ok, the rice sounds dreadful, unless you do the experiment like Cec did.
Too many times I have said that, to realize that they were all stories I had made up. Time is there, it faithfully runs like a river, always at a constant speed. Actually, if you remember from science or Spiderman, light is faster than anything else. So why we let our franctic lives run faster than the light and eat up, like PacMan the time we have?
We take time as a given, it's there like our family home where we always go back to. When the house has to go, all the memories that make you who you are today will always reside with you and accompany you to the next adventure. When time is gone, it is gone. Can you rewind and twirl with your daughter cause you missed it while you were checking Instagram? Can you see again your son's first goal because you had to check the stocks online?
"We live in a world driven by technology, the best and the worst news. We must stop living a life where we have no time" says Marina Abramovic of what motivated her to opening the MAI, the institute where experiments as simple as sleeping and counting the rice are conducted. Such an eye opener: guilty as charged. And no, I can't stand being a Kardashian-ed victim of technology in which if you don't post you don't exist.
So yes, I have asked Santa for
time
We live heisty lives and we are missing it all.
Let's regain grasp on our lives instead of missing it all while we look further.
To a year filled with time.
Cheers,
