Time for Downtime
Life isn’t a race. We surely aren’t trying to see who gets to the end first. It’s not even something you can really “win” either.
The thing about life is that it goes by so fast that you end up counting the moments instead of living them. You really understand this once you have children. They develop each and every day and you watch them as they develop. Some of us get to see more of at development – either by choice or by default – while others only get glimpses of it –also by choice or by default.
I miss moments with my children because I have spend my time in other moments…and that’s okay. The fact I’m aware of that – and make sure that I spend my time wisely on both sides of the equation – makes it okay. I’ve put measures and systems in place to assure that my time – my moments – count, no matter where I spend them as opposed to spending my time counting them instead.
Downtime is the key to achieving that awareness, that sense of understanding and knowing. That’s why you need downtime – so you can be better during your “uptime” periods.
