Why do we rush through life?
Why do we walk so quickly?
Why must we always be on time?
Why must we follow the directions exactly?
Why are we always wishing we we're someplace else?
Why are we always trying to be something we're not?
Why does it take us so little to make a hurtful comment,
but so much to show that we're hurt?
Why does it take us such a short time to realize we're in love,
but so long to finally admit it?

Our lives are becoming meaningless.

Why don't we take time to savor life's littlest happy moments?
Why don't we take the time to take in what's around us?
Why shouldn't we stop and smell the flowers,
veven if we're going to be late?
Why shouldn't we make a few changes?
Why aren't we making the best of wherever we are,
no matter what?
Why aren't we happy with who we are,
inside or out?
Why don't we take our hurt and pain and reach out to our friends for help
instead of holding it in?
Why don't we tell those we love that we love them,
before the moment passes?

If we did, life would be so much more wonderful, and we'd see it for the precious gift that it is.

Remember: No matter what happens in life, you CAN change it... because most things that happen are just the results of your reaction to them.

Think... if you didn't feel the way you felt about this, if you changed your point of view, thought in a different way... would everything be the same?
