So often we get caught up in the pursuit of the marriage/house/kids paradigm (as a friend aptly referred to it), we forget to appreciate the small things in life.
Simple things like admiring that sunflower growing on the side of the N12, taking some time out to read a magazine, enjoy a piece of confectionery, or watching a bird bathing itself in a puddle. We are so concerned about earning the money needed to survive in this competition called life we cannot comprehend wasting our time on anything as trivial as the above.
It's OK to lose sight of the bigger picture for a little while. Stop. Look outside. Take it in.
More often than not it will be a welcome break from that household chore or writing that report. Life is to be lived, not looked back on with the thought of "I would have rather done things differently". There is more to life than being a serious no-room-to-move person.
Have fun. Make mistakes. Laugh at yourself (or someone else for that matter). Help others. Make the best of what you have. And most importantly, be the best version of yourself as possible.
