❤️ Stop fast forwarding your life: Be present ❤️
Life moves fast at you. It is easy to dwell in the past or constantly plan for the future. We get so caught up, that we forget to enjoy life RIGHT now.
I’ve always had a “go getter” mentality, and I love creating opportunities. As a result, I usually have a million things on my mind. One of my biggest weaknesses is staying focused and present in conversations. My mind often wanders because I’m thinking about what I need to be doing.
Two weeks ago, I broke my collarbone, and suddenly my world came to a standstill. Things became slower because I am not able to do all the crazy physical activities I am usually involved in. A lot of plans I had, had to be put aside, so I could focus on my recovery. My injury has actually given me the opportunity to work on my weakness by staying present. Instead of constantly planning for the future, I am able to enjoy the company of my friends, which has really given me the gift of quality time.
I often think of the movie Click, in which the main character had a magical button that allowed him to fast forward his life. He would constantly pause his family time moments, to fast forward to work. At the end of his life, he realizes he has fast forwarded through all the good parts of his life because he was so focused on work. It makes you realize how precious life is and how quality time with your loved ones are extremely important.
So slow down, breath, and just let yourself live in the “now.” It’s all we really have.
Love,
Karen
Hold on! :-)

Positive vibes coming here :) Peace to you
thank you! Feeling the good vibes! :)
Great post!
You play that guitar thingy too?! 🙃
hahhaha... I've been taught a couple times by different friends. I learn the song in the moment, and then I quickly forget if I don't practice. BUT like a good Asian, I do play the violin and piano. :)
Wow. Anything you don't do?! ;P
Sleep... I'm actully a vampire. :P
HI HI HI HI HI HI! It's Friday! Yeppieee... got anything cool planed this weekend Jon Snow? Aside from planning for winter... :)
Wow, Friday already.... I never even know which day it is these days! ;)
Too much greed/fear today trading ;). But steem is up slightly! I really love the fact I can't trade it (because it's locked)! If only all my money was in that then I wouldn't be able to trade any more ... which would be so nice😂
I had a bit of a break recently, but right now got to keep my eye on ethereum 24/7 .... so won't be doing anything ;). How about you? 😀
Any more thoughts avatar-wise? ;)
OH of course! Only people without full time jobs or who are self employeed have the luxury to say that! LOL everyday is a holiday.
AHHH Jon Snow... You fear winter. I see. :P HAHA. I think you secretly love trading :)
HMmM just posted on Steemit, so you can do your time thing that you like to do! hahah optimize.
Well since I'm broke and can't do acro, I'm going camping again this weekend. LOL Looking forward to seeing the stars again and roasting marshmallows. This camping trip is on someone's ranch... so it will really be glamping.
HmMm, we need to pick a theme. Do you want to be part robot, ninja, professor, a regular person, unicorn, animal, Cartoon version of Jon snow, Lego man, hahah... watcha thinking?
It is a challenging to be at present and making the most out of it.
Take quite a lot of emotional intelligence to accomplish...
Absolutely! and focus.
I wish that top photo was of me. You look so happy sitting there playing your uke. Do you have a view of the ocean from there? Your post reminds me that I too need to sometimes stop rushing on and enjoy the small moments while I still can. Thank you for this inspiring post and I hope your collarbone heals quickly!

I always find it fascinating how a persons environment affects their mindset. Its great to see such positivity in such a beautiful setting.
I can't imagine a busy New Yorker on a grey day making this post for example.
The connection with nature and beauty is vital to our happiness.
