This is why I think vacations are important.. i wrote this on a beach in Spain last year and just found it.. its not that its groundbreaking writing, its just the perspective i get when i get away from the chase. Without it life just becomes one big means to an end. If your stuck on your blackberry 24/7 and havent stopped to see what is actually in front of you lately, book a vacation!!
The true test of peace and happiness is in stillness,
when the mind has stopped searching for it in the form of "things" and ego fulfillment.
Happiness is not in the accumulation of future, its in the vibrant simplicity of now.
Breathe in every moment because its all you will ever have.
Stare at the sky, feel the breeze, see your soul in a child's eyes.
Listen to life without all the repetitive mental noise.
None of these things exist in your blackberry.
They are lost in the assumption that life is better served elsewhere,
when in reality everywhere and everything else is just theatre for your mind.
It will all be left behind becoming lost opportunities and dust.
