People work too hard.
I don't think people realize that while they're working day and night to have their future, that really they are missing out on their whole life. The distracted father, too busy to take his son to a football game. The bustling mother, working so late she can't be home for supper.. Always, the same excuse- I'm working towards the future. What future? what future will be left when you are 65 and retired? With grown children you don't even know their favourite color?
Yes, the future is highly important.. after all, it will be the life we are living one day. But what about the life we are living now? That is what is important, to me. Because how can you ever have had a life, if when you look back you have nothing to say about it except that you worked hard? Yeah, we'll know you worked hard when you have that giant house you've always wanted, but it's empty.
You don't want to miss out on the life you're living now. It's too vital to miss. If you're too set on this one path leading to this one place you want to be, you won't see the beauty along the way of that path. You won't have time to stop and smell the flowers. Before you know it, you'll have walked, or perhaps ran down that path so fast that you will never have known the fun of going down that path in the first place.
Just dont miss out on life. It's too short.
