It’s easy to get distracted. It’s easy to focus on things that aren’t important in life and forget about what is most important.
One day I was reading a book while watching my kids by our pool.
I wanted to be outside, spend time with our kids and read a book all at once.
Well, that wasn’t the best idea…
I ended up walking backwards while reading the book and falling into the pool with my clothes on! It was a wake up call.
It wasn’t just about falling into the pool. It was about the whole situation.
I was distracted. I was took focused on doing too many things at once that I wasn’t fully present in the moment.
The past few months, I’ve been working on being more present. Being less distracted on things that don’t matter and being fully present when I’m with the people I love.
This is definitely a work in progress that will get better over time.
All I can say is that I’ve been happier than I have been in a long time, and I think a big part of that is because I’ve been more present and focusing on the relationships in my life that matter most.
