Steemit Engagement Challenge S13W5: While you wait...

in Steem Venezuelalast year (edited)

While you wait...

What do you do while you wait? This is the question that has been on my mind since I came across this Contest. We often spend so much time chasing our goals that we sometimes get so engrossed in them and end up forgetting the moment that passes while we wait. Let us delve deeper into it.

To quote my mum; I was upset about how slow my plans are moving and how much time I have lost being unproductive and she said to me

"We all have our waiting time, this is yours, instead of complaining, go through it, eventually it will be over".

Wise words, I took her advise to heart.


Probing Questions

Do you consider that all time should be productive?

In my profession opinion, time is money, and as such, we are trained to treat every moment productively. But personally, I believe it's good to take a break once in a while to relax; taking a break or sleeping can be argued to be productive endeavors.

What do you think of John Lennon's phrase: "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans"?

John Lennon happens to be one of my favorite artists from the band - "The Beatles." From the sentence, he clearly means that while we chase those big dreams and huge goals, we often neglect the little things, and those little moments that we miss out on are actually the ones that count the most and make up "Life" as we know it. You haven't truly lived if you haven't learned to appreciate the little things life offers that we are mostly blind and unappreciative of until we lose them.

What do you do in everyday situations where you have to wait, such as a traffic jam, electricity and/or internet interruptions, etc.?

It's funny how different everything suddenly feels when you're stuck in a position while you wait; for example, your phone battery fades out, and that's when you notice the neighbors across the street or the color of the ceiling. Anyway, when I'm stuck in a position where I do not have anything else to do, I find that listening to music can help take my mind off it. I don't even travel long distances without music. In cases of power outage where music is not an option, I try to engage in meaningful conversations with people or play with my pets until it's restored. As a last-ditch effort, sleeping is always an option.

Have you decided to have an attitude towards life while you wait, or do you only think about goals to achieve?

I've learned to appreciate what happens more when I'm not busy working towards a goal. I made really good friends from just taking a pause to observe my surroundings. Just like I read in an article a couple of years back (so I can't make a proper reference) - "in the end, we do not regret what we did but what we didn't do."

Hello friend, every plan we make has its waiting time but we must not forget that if that time passes we lose, time is money and we must be one step ahead of it but remembering that we are human beings and that we need a break too.

In moments we wait and other very good things pass through our ears without us realizing it.
