Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
Eddie Cantor US comedian & singer (1892 - 1964)

I found this when i was looking for a quote for my gp essay question on slowing down in life instead of speeding it up. Somehow, i got a revelation while doing this essay and through this quote. I find it really meaningful. I just thought of how everyone is just moving so fast in life and as a result, neglect their loved ones and the scenery in life. As we are constantly moving fast in life, we tend to take the people around us for granted. When was the last time you greet your parents good morning or good night? When was the last time we spend the whole day to prepare a surprise for our family members? When was the last time you actually spent hours on the phone with your close friends? I guess hardly anyone can afford to do that now. As i was reading the quote, i felt God speaking to me and everything just click. As we are moving so fast in life, are we still able to slow down and give him the best time of each day to just spend time with Him. Like the quote says, if we fail to do it, we'll not only miss His presence by going too fast, soon, we will find ourselves missing the sense of where we are going and why. We will lose the purpose of whatever we are doing now. This applies as we are busy in the kingdom of God. Admist all the busyness, we still need to spend time with Him and constantly hearing from Him and that's when we will be assured of where we are going in God and why we are doing the things we are doing. All for His glory:)

yay, how cool is that:) haha. Okay, now i have to complete the other half of my essay :(
