We will soon
be encountering
many ‘lasts’
– the last Monarch butterfly,
the last snowfall,
the last Autumn leaves,
the last bite of
a banana.
The issue is…
we won’t know
it will be our last.
Not until the moment
has passed.
So stop
and relish each one.
Look at that ladybug
on the leaf.
Smell the roses.
Take an extra minute
while walking from the office
to our cars
to gaze up at the night sky,
feel the cool breeze on your skin.
I know.
I know.
We’re all super busy
building our businesses,
changing the world
in our own special ways.
But a minute or two
out of our day
doing this
won’t make a huge difference
to our business building
and it is a good investment
in our happiness today
and our happiness in the future.
Our souls
need us to do this.
We need to savor
these things
while we have them.
Stop and smell the roses.
Literally.
