Indirection, Redirection, Misdirection... how I've been misguided... rerouted... and blind to the facts of life. How you live your daily life in miniscule lies, you don't even realize. How our perceptions are skewed by the immoral value system and prioritization. How everyday we wake up and take the smallest things for granted. Day after day, minute after minute... and with each second, and each breath, we don't realize what is truly precious. The moments we have to embrance what we've been given... wasted.
Does it make it worse when you realize and regret it? Or is it worse to not know... The worst feeling of all... is being confused... lost and completely unsure where the truth is. At that point. Take a second, breathe, grasp that second and hold onto the ground you're standing on. The longer it takes for you to clutch the moment and bring yourself to reality, the longer it will take for you to stop wasting your time and realize what you need to do. Learn to understand what's happening, interpret it... and recognize your surroundings... its reactions.
In the moment, its usually appealing to do what we want at that time... not look too far... and take the present for granted... but for all the times that tell you to "Hurry up", for every ten times sometimes tells you "Let's go" listen to me just once... and relax... and lets not take the future for granted... slow things down... or when the future becomes the present, you may not be happy with how you've made it. Think of whats best for you. When you find the balance for the speed of life you should be living for your best interests... life will become ideal, past, present, future.
Unfortunately, finding this velocity isn't something that is easy, automatic or possible. It's not a physics equation, not a mathematical variable, and not something either innate, or learned. It's inevitable to go to fast... to take time for granted and its impossible to live a "perfect" life... but simply remember time is a limited thing, don't waste it, but also, realize that life isnt something to whip by, because some day, you won't be able to go back and change what you've ripped past. Life is a one way street, there aren't any U-Turns except in memories, someday, memories will be all we have.
In this day and age, we're always late for something... when life is measured by the speed of your computer, by deadlines, dates, and agendas to be fufilled, its tough to sit and reflect, but really, slow things down. Think things through... some decisions are worth making, and should be made properly. Don't try to push too fast in the world thats moving faster than you can catch up to. A daily error is wanting things to simply be over with... someday that future we've all awaited will meet us... life isn't something we can rewind, why rush to get older? Whether our future that meets us will be what we want... is really up to us, and is dependant on the past and the present... make your future what you want it to be... and just "slow things down".
