how has life been treating you guys lately? great i'm sure... coz there is hardly anytime to ponder. Lets see... a regular day for most of us comprises of the morning alarm, quick shower, a hurried breakfast, traffic, heat, inefficient colleagues/subordinates/staff, meetings, blood sucking clients, tough competition, lunch, smoke break, pressing need of more capital, newer ideas, bigger orders OR better bosses, more appreciation, more days off.
To lighten things up we have that mid week drink, catch a movie, check out a new restaurant and basically catch up with the going ons on the social front...
What we forget or do not even realise is "we have no Me-Time". By that I mean some time set aside to basically clear your head of everything...and just be by yourself ...with yourself...doing what you enjoy doing most... feel free in that moment.
Can Routine and Freedom co-exist? We are all slave to the routine...hence have sacrificed our freedom without even realising it! It's like The Matrix in a strange way...we are living but are we really alive? when was the last time you left your home while it was pouring and wandered off without having a plan or an umbrella? Do you feel like a part of you is handicapped when you forget your cell phone at home? How dependent are you on technology? Do you feel restless when you can't check your mail? Not too long ago when you were waiting for your friends to come and get you, and they were late...what would you have done? ...waited... But You can't do that today. Why? Coz time is precious and we're all in a hurry. In a hurry to get there.
I guess what i'm trying to note here is that we should slow down once in a while.
Drink a tall glass of water or beer with our eyes closed and feel it go down. Take a deep cleansing breath. Take a walk . Have an interesting conversation with a couple of smokes and a cuppa coffee. And be thankful.
Thanful 2 be alive, 2 be free and 2 just be Me :)
