I Want It Now

So I just watched a video displaying a new service from Amazon Prime Air showing how they are working on a fleet of drones in order to deliver packages within 30 minutes.  One one hand I think technology is fascinating, the things we take for granted now that weren’t even possible a short while ago.

On the other I tend to worry that we are going to lose so much touch with reality that there is not going to be any “real” life that doesn’t involve technology left.

It made me really think about how we want things now.  I’m no exception to this.  Normally when I get something in my head, the next thought is “what do I need to do to get it done”.   If I have a to do list, it’s not about getting out of it, it’s about how fast I can get everything on it done.

But at the same time I really have to remind myself that true things are developed over time.  If I’ve found this to be true in anything it’s both my marriage, and my fitness.

I’ve hit it hard in the gym now for years and still up my goals every year.  Trying to make it better.  The same is true in marriage, it gets better with time, and sticking it through is so worth.

Everything has it’s rough days.  Every day isn’t perfect in marriage, and every day I don’t have motivation to go to the gym.  But both still need to be fought for and done.  Keep going, persevere, and be patient.  These are things that don’t happen overnight, or in 30 minutes.  I’ll save the 30 minutes for my package delivery.
