Live a little

People look at life as a race or a competition and in this race of getting somewhere we often miss out on how life passes by and we forget to notice the beauty of life. We forget to appreciate and realize the small changes that takes place on a daily basis missing out on the beauty of the process of the changes that take place.
How often do we feel so helpless that we doubtfully turn to God as our last resort only to find our prayers being answered. And how often are we thankful for that and for just being where we are, for being alive, and how often to do we look at life as a gift or a miracle and not a chore.
Life may be a competition, but it's against none but ourselves, for we are all in one way or the other fighting or winning battles that seem big in our own world, and the only race that I see here is the race against time, for if we lose time racing others we're losing parts of our lives we'll never get back.
So just a passing thought: in between all the hustle bustle of life, just remember to watch the leaves change, see the birds fly, look at a kid learn to talk, say thanks, dance a little, laugh a little, and just live a little, because this life is all we've got.

How great thou art

Few times in life do we come across something so majestically surreal, so great making us realize how little we actually are. We as humans tend to thing we're such great beings forgetting Mother Nature and her power. It's only when we see the vastness and the strength of nature from so up close that we realize that we almost seem like nothing in front of it. For it would only take a millisecond for nature to crush us to pieces. And as much as this seems like a pessimistic way of thinking it makes me realize how sometimes we think of our problems to be so great, we think of everything revolving around our lives as the center of everything, and it is at times like these we need to think of how little we actually are, and if we're so little, how can our problems and issues be so great. If we're almost nothing in this great world, we need to understand that the issues and problems we deal with every single day is less than nothing.
