An interesting quote I came across stated, "It's good to have a 'destination or a goal' to journey towards; but it's 'the journey' that really matters."
If we take a few moments to ponder on this saying, we realize how true it really is. In today's world, most of us are so focussed, on the 'goals' we want to achieve in life, that we forget to 'enjoy the ride towards that goal'. In our zeal to reach a target, we're constantly speeding through the moments in our life; and in the process, we don't take the time to stop and smell the roses along the way. We overlook the little blessings all around us.

While we're busy feeling a sense of regret, about all the things we could have done yesterday; and as we're constantly pre-occupied, with the fear of what could go wrong tomorrow, most of us completely forget about 'TODAY'.🤷🏻♀️
Mumbai is often referred to, as 'the city that never sleeps'. The streets outside many railway stations, are alive and busy with activity, well past midnight, almost everyday.

Most of us, have lived in this city, from the day we were born. As a result, we've become a lot like the city. We're constantly on the move, and always thinking about what we can do next.
In the process of living life in the fast lane, we are slowly losing touch with the little things in life, like going onto our terrace and watching a glorious sunset, or simply looking up at the sky on a star-lit night, and counting the stars, taking a walk bare-feet, on the soft grass in a garden, or just watching the birds fly past in the sky, and wondering where they're really going.🤔
A little child gets excited at the smallest things. He would probably jump up and down with joy, when he sees an aeroplane; and his eyes literally pop out, at the sight of an ice-cream shop.
Little children can be our greatest teachers, when it comes to learning, how to really enjoy every moment and to savour every experience. They have no regret about the past, and have no fears about the future. They just live in the 'Now'.😊🌈
As we grow up, we gradually outgrow this sense of 'Wonderment'. Our focus shifts to supposedly more important things, like success, career, achieving something, etc. No doubt, all these things are necessary and important in life, as well. However, I just think that we must definitely not forget the 'little things in life', while we're busy achieving the 'big goals'.
We live in a materialistic world, where gadgets and gizmos rule our lives. The virtual world, often makes us forget the people in the same room.

Let's press the 'pause' button in our lives.
Let's learn to appreciate every moment.
Let's thank God for giving us 'TODAY', which can be much more exciting, than every tomorrow, if we only take the time to enjoy every moment in every day, to the full.✨️✍️
