I love to contemplate and admire little details in life. There are "small and insignificant" details in our day-to-day life that no one cares about anymore and I find them so interesting and special...
Have you realised how great it is to have that smile when you go an pick up your morning coffee at the shop? How cool it is that when you want to move somewhere your brain tells your legs to go... and you actually move... instantly! How great it is that when you want to drink water, you can open the tap... and there it is! (Imagine if you have to run down to the river everytime). How awesome is that if you dial the correct number you will be able to have a clear conversation with somebody on the other side of the world? Have you ever stopped to think that some foods get transported from one side of the world to the other so that you can have a taste of it?
Isn't all that amazing? So, my question for you today is why aren't most of us amazed by all that anymore?
Is it because we take all that for granted? Or because our goal-driven society does not leave us much time for contemplation...?
I don't think there is a straight answer for that!
So, I will leave you with a suggestion... take your time and admire the world as a 3-year-old boy/girl. Children are the best example to follow as they live completely delighted with the world around them. You will find your self amazed by how cool it is to contemplate an ant walking with a massive load on its back and think about what she is gonna do with all that. Or how insteresting is to spend some time hearing a bird singing on the backyard and thinking that he never had any lessons on how to sing.
Life is simple...
Find the time to admire it... and you'll find beauty.
