I read a study yesterday. It said that last year, more than half of us actually
chose not to take our full vacations from our jobs. Question : Don't you think
it's crazy that so many of us going to work even when we don't need to be there ?
Times we could be on the beach buried in sand or traveling the earth. We spend it
in the office traveling from desk to desk, buried in paperwork
See in this chaotic world everything goes so fast, we're so busy seems like
everyone's middle name is multi-task. But now now before you go and act all
holier-than-thou, how many extra tabs do you have open on your computer, right now ?
See we all need time to get away from the race for our family, friends, for the
sake of our mental state. Time to rewind, recharge and reconnect. Not reporting to
the office on emails that should be on redirect. Because life ladies and
gentlemen is all about moments. No one in history has ever been able to hold on to
one. Not a single soul. And you never get them back
See ? There one goes... no do-over no rewind no DVD root menu to skip to a
previous scene. Ask yourself how many trips did you almost take ? How many sights
have you almost seen ? How many moments have you lost thinking about the next one ?
Thinking that, once you get this or get there maybe that will be the best one.
Life has taught me that all we will ever have is now... But let me be perfectly
clear. I'm not saying to quit your job even though I know you deserve a
six-month vacation, twice a year. But how about small steps ? Short trips
with long dances, no distractions. Spend time with family instead of coworkers.
Meditation instead of aggravation. Replace our screen savers with sunrises
Palm Pilots with palm trees, jamm copy machines with...
Man I really hate jamm copy machines... The most precious thing we have in life
are moments. Let's make the most of them before they disappear. Let's see the
world while we still can. And cherish those while they're still
here. Because when our lives are almost over, it won't matter how much money we
made or hours we worked or times we got employee of the month. What we will look
back on are our memories we made, the hours we spent with those we loved and were
we father of the month ? Mother of the year ? Friend of a lifetime ?
Holidays should be a time where we go away and
come together. From now on, Let's take a whole vacation and be fully
present, creating memories that will last forever...
