When is the last time you sat back and wondered what would happen if everything stood still - just for a moment. Everything apart from you.
Ever just wonder what it would be like to be able to walk the world and observe everything and everyone just how they are at one very specific moment in time?
I do it all the time, because I know that in the busy world we live in, with our busy lives we take snapshots as we go. You’ll do it subconsciously, but every now and then something will catch your eye that stops you momentarily. Sometimes even for just a split second, and then you carry on with whatever you were doing. It’s that snapshot, and it happens without even knowing it.
So back to the stopping the world. Think about it now like that split second snap shot, only with your full consciousness and suddenly that nano second turns into an eon, with no effort other than simply being aware of who you are and where you are. These are my favourites because when you catch yourself doing it, you find that in that very moment that you’ve connected with something, and the connection starts the rest of your life.
The thing is, with that snap shot of time it not only gives you clarity, but it brings about a new sense of importance of what is actually important and worthy of your time, and what isn’t. It brings direction, which may not be overly apparent to start with, yet suddenly you find yourself drawn down a path. It is proof in itself that nothing truly stops, unless we make it. But to the same extent we keep going and going, irrespective of whatever obstacles are in our way, we just keep going.
Nothing has ever been achieved by staying still; well not for too long anyway. Moments and snapshots can be enough to keep us ahead of the game, especially in this race that we call life.
While you were sleeping the world kept turning...
