So many times we get caught up in the current trend of immediacy that we don’t give ourselves a chance to take a step or two back and reflect on what it is we’re pushing ourselves so hard for, what’s the basic goal we want to achieve for ourselves today. Not tomorrow, not six months from now, but today.

It’s a change in the mindset for sure, but one that ultimately will allow us to truly appreciate what we’ve nurtured and grown.

Again, I’m glad I could help bring some calm into your day and thanks for your comment.

Thanks for sharing this with us Tanveer, you just managed to calm my thoughts which lately seem to run off more on their own – and not always to relaxing places!

As adults, we do tend to put a higher premium on what we'd value or appreciate in light of the difficulties we face as members of the workforce. A valuable lesson we can learn from children is to see the bounty we reap each day in our lives, those moments which eclipse all others and make us eager to start all over the next day.

That moment in the orchard playground with my children was just such a moment, one that I'm happy to share with everyone else.

Thanks again for stopping by, Tanmay, and sharing your thoughts.

One of the great messages in the book is that everyone has equal amount of time. So if you say, "I don't have time", it is your problem and not a problem with time. Simple joys of life does not require heavy time investment, and even if it does, it is totally worth it! A very simple point, yet so easy to miss.

Have a great week Tanveer!
