We Live in Today

Some time ago I was watching a drama comedy movie titled "Click" the film is funny but also touching to the point that my wife and I were both touched by the storyline. The film portrays how a father's ambition to achieve better career late in the speed of time without realizing it makes it more distant from the name of happiness.
He no longer enjoy the harmony of the family that his mind is how fast rich materially. Although he argued that everything she did for the family but he eventually lost his wife and closeness with their children. For his wife and his children the father's presence is far more valuable than wealth that has accumulated. Towards his end approaching the ayahpun trying to reach back to a happy family that had once been her desire.
To his wife and children he too said he too "Family first ...". Not long ago the father finally breathed her last breath.
The movie "Click" reflects our human life in this modern era. Amid the onslaught of consumerism and materialism that increasingly tight as dengungnya requires us to think fast and move fast, we sometimes even move without much thought. For those of us chasing the numbers is much more important than taking time to understand your spouse and our children. Chasing numbers is far more important than taking time to think, ponder and reflect on ourselves to the Giver of Life.
Material is often made us oriented activities. We tried as much as possible that no time is wasted without the slightest activity. We continue to work, seek new opportunities, or working a second job, with a speed which increases from day to day. All we do with the reasons for pursuing the "future" is better.
For short-term pursuit of materiality can make us get what we want for material but for the long term we will pay dearly and unfortunately you will not be able to buy time to redo everything from scratch.
The first consequence is to be a lot of important things lost in our lives that distract us from life's real purpose. The faster we run with no time to stop it lest we even go to the wrong place faster. The sooner it is not going to be getting better if we move in the wrong direction. It is better if we pause to reflect and decide what is important in our lives. Stephen Covey in The 7th Habits legendary book said "begin with the end in mind". Invites us to think about what we want when we leave this world. What does your spouse, your children, family and colleagues about who you are? You want to leave an impression as what the end of your life?
You see ads speedy recently about a taxi driver who "sped" brought to the railway station when the intended destination airport should be. Materiality is often only think of hours and forget to think of a compass.
The second consequence is a reduction in happiness and enjoyment in your life. Can I ask you, what you're looking for in this world: the materiality or happiness? There are interesting things here materiality synonymous with speed, happiness precisely identical with the delay. Delayed talks about the attitude of a steady life and not in a hurry not mean telmi or slow.
Quality relationship is not built with speed, but with a lag. You must build trust slowly, be patient to listen to what they want, and explain what's on your mind slowly. Relationship quality is a relationship based on patience. Is not synonymous with slowness patience.
Life is really enjoying life is a life second by second. Quality of life is a life that flows slowly, instead of living constantly stricken haste. Try you see the movie "Click" and you'll know what I meant.
Brother, Is not time we have actually just "now". Now that is something real while the future is something that is not real. As I write this article, I really do not know what happened then even a minute into the future. Suddenly my wife brought me know paste and a cup of coffee when I was in the mall and she was at work. Surprise for me and this I never knew before. For those who like to share investment, would not guess that now the world's stock markets again great shakes.
Because only the "now" that we have let us enjoy what we have today as our gratitude to him. Enjoy the beauty of having children, enjoy having a partner, enjoy having older people, enjoy having a job, and enjoy every role that you run now. Section we just make the best of what we have right now while the future we leave to him.
