We are like in a fast car. The only thing that we focus on is the speed of the car. But we miss something else! What kind of people live in these places? What kind of view the road has?
We are in everywhere piece by piece, but we are in nowhere as a whole. Even walking around or lying on the bed makes us feel guilty. It makes us feel like life is passing and we miss something.
We feel so even when we go on a holiday.
I must see blah blah. I must wake up early not to miss the breakfast...
We are always in a hurry. But what is left? Let me tell you, as a result of being in a hurry, we get stressful and depressed.
We must slow down. We must slow down to be able to enjoy in life and sometimes just to feel better. Because we only live once. We check our phone while eating, or driving. We read a book and watch our favorite series at the same time. We think we do many things but indeed we do nothing completely.
To be able to enjoy the view, we must slow down!
Let me tell you a story;
A young man looks for happiness. He asks everybody how to be happy and everybody tells him a different thing. And he tries these things but can't get any happy in life. After a long time, they tell to that young man that there is a wise person who can tell him how to get happiness in life. And the young man goes to that wise person. He goes a long road and finally arrives there. He tells about his problem and the wise man gives him a spoon with an egg on it. And tells him to look round the palace by holding that spoon on his mouth. He also tells him not to drop the egg.
The young man goes round with that spoon and comes back to the wise man. Wise man asks him what he saw. He can't say anything as the only thing he did was focusing on the spoon not to drop the egg on it.
Wise man tells him to look round again without spoon. This time the young guy sees lots of beautiful things while looking round. And tells these things to the wise man.
Wise man tells him that life is also like that. If you focus on only one part of the life, you can't see the beauty in it.
Actually being in hurry in life is also similar. If we always try to do things in hurry we can't realize the beauty of the life. Just focus on one thing. Enjoy every piece of the food. Are you going out? Put your phone a side and see the beauty. Talk to your friedns.
Just stop and smell the roses!
