Step Back and Smell the Roses

SOMETIMES

in life we get so caught up in everyday activity. So busy with things that aren't by any means bad, but 

that take away from things that we could be doing that's probably a little better.

There are SO many distractions in today's world. Smart-phones, social-media sites, television, movies, video games. These things in moderation are not bad in themselves, but when people become addicted to these things, when these things are not used in moderation, we suffer.

We suffer both mentally, and spiritually. As I have mentioned before I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Tonight I attended a fireside that my father was in charge of. It's main focus was being prepared. But tell me, how can we prepare if we are so distracted? 

Let's take a step back, a step back from all the distractions, all the crazy busy days we all have.

Let's step back and enjoy life. Focus on becoming a better person, but also know that we are going to make mistakes because that's part of our role here on earth. 

Let's step back, and smell the roses. Be grateful for the little things we have, and enjoy this crazy ride called life.

please don't judge the disgusted face I'm making while smelling the roses ;)
