We travel through our lives every day. Some of us get on a
delayed train, some get stuck at a red light in our cars and some just sit on
the sofa and flick through all the international channels while staring at the
shiny illusion on the wall – you might call it the TV. We seem to have
forgotten how to sit still and take pleasure of it. Not out of boredom, not
because we’ve been told to do it but purely because we desire it. We spend
hours chasing after routines, giving in to habits and choosing the easy option
of following the crowd.
Then we spend about a third of our day earning money so
that we can buy all the things that we don’t need but must possess. Things that
we firmly believe will make us feel happy. And in fact they do have that effect
on us for a few minutes, hours or dependant on the purchase maybe days. Never
years though. We never get the same excitement as ripping the packaging open.
So we go and get our things and then carry on with our routine. And when the end of
the day arrives we take a look back and say something like “such a busy day” or
“I still have to do this tomorrow”.
Those 24 hours are nothing but a sample sized life. Make yours exciting.
