~:[CH6 - Day 313]:~ To Pace

It's tough in our world today. We always seem to be in such a hurry that sometimes that leads to us forgetting about treating others with respect. We put ourselves and our time before others and don't have the ability to wait 20-30 seconds, ultimately ruining someone else's day and saving us insignificant amounts of time. Whether it was speeding past someone and impatiently passing by or simply not taking the time to care about those around you, you could have change someone else's day, but showing them respect and respecting their time and space as much as you did your own. Sometimes we are so busy in our lives taking care of things that we miss out on the opportunities to meet people, to grow and to spend quality time with those around us. Sometimes in life, we just need to pace ourselves, by not getting ahead of ourselves and by slowing things down so that we can enjoy all that we pass by along the way. At our CIF dinner tonight, I was thankful for the time we got to spend together, as we didn't worry much about the time, rather, we enjoyed each other's company, writing notes to each other and capturing these moments into our memories for a lifetime. It's easy for us to get wrapped up in all we need to do and accomplish, but if we can do all that, yet fail to take care of those closest to our, our success in finishing all that up, ends up being a failure. It's time we slow time and respect those around us and also time for us to slow down and soak in all the things that this world has to offer us. Today, I slowed things down and enjoyed seeing our team together, enjoying each other's company and demonstrated one of the reasons why we were so successful this season, our ohana bond. While it only took a little bit more time out of my day, I can guarantee that it was well worth it and I definitely consider it an investment  into a harmonious life ahead.
