RUN. RUN. ALWAYS RUN.
Are we running after something or do we want to escape from it?
In our childhood, we all played “catch me if you can”. Every child and even teenager never got tired of it. We liked to run after each other, wanting to catch the others. And curiously, with the same intensity of adrenaline, we also liked to run away and do everything possible to escape… But until when? At some point, we would also like to finally get caught! What a paradox!
When we grow up, we no longer play this game. We have forgotten or we simply no longer want to run. Still, we always “run” in a certain way. We run after things and try to run away or escape from others. Which things? Everyone is different on this point. However it is necessary to be aware of it, because it is our time and our energy that we consume during this “race”.
Before, we had fun, we laughed. Now, we no longer have fun and we laugh less. We often forget to take time for ourselves, or to do what makes us happy, as in the old times, when we were children. Nowadays, we are stressed. We don’t stop, we are always busy. The to-do list never ends…and may never end! It’s time to slow down and take a closer look at what’s troubling us.
Sometimes it is easier to ignore our duty than to face it and fulfil it. We all have one or more talents just waiting to be revealed and shared. It is our responsibility to discover them, so that we can all benefit from them. There’s no time to lose. I myself am still learning how to use my time wisely, because Time does not wait. It doesn’t wait for anyone.
