When was the last time you stopped to smell the roses?
Think...
Think hard...
Read these words slowly, out loud and really understand them....
When was the last time you paused?
When did you last put down the phone, the iPad, got away from the television, the newspaper, work, a book whatever you use as an escape, and actually, paused.
Stop
Take a deep breath
Inspect a flower: does it have bugs on it?
Wonder...
Chaos is everywhere, everyday, every moment.
Just take a breath and pause.
Good afternoon, good evening and morning...
My life as most would say has not been easy.
I am the atypical stereotype female, most would say.
Broken family, missing father, younger siblings, working single mother, bad grades, bad attitude, constant judgement by ones that shouldn't.
Blah, blah, blah
I am an adult now.
My life has drastically changed for better and worse.
Life cycles evolve, people change
Loved ones dissappear and new friends are made
The past is the past.
I have forgiven, but will never forget.
Certain scents, sounds and places fill my emotional psyche to a plethora of feelings internally and externally.
I have realized this is the way of the mind.
The mind is powerfully made.
The mind is a mother board of information in which we only access pieces and bits.
Why is this?
Do we choose getting today over as our goal?
We have evolved into 4 process robotic zombies.
Process 1. open our eyes- damn, still alive...
Process 2. Commence repetitive daily routine
Process 3. Retire daily routine
Process 4. Close eyes- pray for a better day
I state these witnessed facts as an observation of human life.
Am I guilty of acting on the Robotic Zombie Process, most definitely.
Do I strive today to be, do, act and persevere as though I am able to achieve all of my goals, hopes and dreams, most definitely.
Life is short.
Stress is high.
To be happy is a choice.
To not sweat the small stuff, is a choice.
To take baby steps in life to "stop and smell the roses" is a choice.
To act out in a classless and tactless manner due to a negative experience is a choice.
What choices will I make today to improve my quality of life?
