Sometimes You need to be a Spectator at your own Parade

"Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize,..Vienna waits for you?" - Billy Joel, Vienna

- - -

Life is funny. There are times when I live life with Fearless Passion and there are times when I struggle trying to know what it is that I am feeling passionate about. For me this comes in waves. And something I am coming to terms with is that there are also times in our lives when we need to be a spectator at our own parade.

Yes, we should go out and smell the flowers. And get up early and take in a sunrise and make an effort and take in a sunset. And go outside at night and look up at a sky filled with stars.

While I have worked 100-120 hours a week for quite some time, I also know that not everything I do has to surround itself around work, even if it feels that way. And that there are times we need to take the time to relax and enjoy the company of our loved ones and appreciate the people who help define our life.

Sometimes you just need to take a backseat and become a spectator of your own life. Don't question the time, or seek any answers... Just let it unfold before you.

A hillbilly was visiting the big city for the first time. Entering an office building, he saw a pudgy older woman step into a small room. The doors closed, lights flashed, and after a while the door slid open and a beautiful young model stepped off the elevator.
Blinking in amazement, the hillbilly drawled, "I should have brought my wife!"

:) I like it when a person finds a personal truth while trying to inspire others! bravo!

Appreciation seems to the most healthy state of being, not just in a spiritual way but in a practical health way too!

Jeff... nice post! Yes, indeed, we do need to take those moments to sit back and reflect. Many years ago I wrote a poem "Go Slowly, For We Don't Have Much Time". Sometimes we need to do that. Thanks for the reminder.

From what little I know of you, you never struck me as a very introspective man. But of course, you'd have to be, or how would you get so successful, or keep your sanity to stay that way through the turbulence? It's good to see.
