stop running

Why is it that we are never satisfied with what we have? Why is it that we always miss out on the present moment for the mere hope that it is going to be different, better, and more exciting in the future. Where is this future anyway? As we all know the future never comes as we imagine and the house and kids that we thought would make us happy never does. And this leaves us running after more more desires in attempt to make it all better. First it's the dream job, then it's marriage, then a house, then it's a kid, then another kid to see if that helps soothe the marriage, then, then, then! We are all running marathons and calling it life. I think its time to sit and smell the roses and enjoy what existence has given us. The future only comes in the form of the present. So, eat a bowl of cornflakes, relax in your favorite chair, and just watch your neighbors run after things they don't even really remember wanting in the first place. Get out of the game and get into the lawn chair. Enjoy.
