You hear about quality time a lot but I really think that quantity time with a person is really what strengthens a relationship. That's when you really get to know somebody. You get to know their strengths and their weaknesses and that brings you closer. That's what 'Time Is Love' is all about. - Josh Turner

Making time for QUALITY TIME!

❤

I decided to take a little bit of a break from any “heavy writing” and online engagement this weekend. I spent time outdoors and time with my family. I pretty much stayed away from technology for most of it… I just needed the breather… a little time to “gather myself” and enjoy life outside of the screen. I think it is really important that we do this from time to time… otherwise our entire universe starts becoming consumed by technology and we can often forget that there are actually real physical people in our lives as well as 3D objects surrounding us… hehehe ;)

It really was good to just spend some time with my family and not have my phone glued to my hand or my laptop screen in front of my face - To just forget about it all and revel in the company of good people.

I think that too often we put things off, things that are truly very important to the enrichment of our lives. We will say “later” or “tomorrow” and then the days turn into weeks and the weeks into months and then we look again and we haven’t seen the people that we love for almost a year…. And that is INSANE!

I understand that the utilisation of technology is a matter of survival for many people, including myself… but at the end of the day when it is all said and done, all of that effort ploughed into the things we are doing to survive is actually worth nothing if we don’t have anybody to share it with.

I think I probably speak for most people these days when I say that technology and social media can be a little like a drug. You can lose yourself in it hours on end – it can literally consume you! And this is not good!

A balance needs to be struck!

We need to make the time to do the things we need to do, but we also need to remember to recharge our hearts and souls… and spending time with family and friends is definitely a key factor in this.

I know that our gadgets are AMAZING tools and their limitless capabilities amaze me everyday. I am a complete and utter tech and social media junkie, but I will say this - it would all become VERY QUICKLY worthless if my life was not surrounded by all the people I love.

Tomorrows are never guaranteed.... Make time for the things that really matter... those being, the people who make your world richer!

Over the years, I've learnt how to strike a balance between both my lives and give quality time to my passion as well as to my family. Yes, it is tiring at times, and every working woman goes through the phase. - Malaika Arora Khan
