Existential switch

There is one quote that has always stuck with me. The kind that when you hear it for the first time, the gears on your head start gaining momentum. So much in fact that you realize that there is a factory of ideals in your mind that do not get to run on a daily operation. 

“We have more time than life”

  
It helped me realize how dictated our lives are by the regular 24 hour day to day basis. Whether it be going to school, work, take care of family. Or all at the same time. Routines are good, do not knock them. They help you practice things over and eventually you become good at them. That could be meditating some ten minutes before or after a certain task. Helping your mind set be aligned with what you are about to perform. Also prepping your body as to what you are about to expect. 

If you think about how short life can be, it could end at any second. Which adds to the beauty of human interaction amongst each other. Enabling you to bookmark special or important experiences. Sometimes rushing on the way to work adds unwanted stress and could dictate how your work day will be. Setting an unpleasant mood or a great mood at that. 

Ultimately you have to sit back and reevaluate what requires your utmost attention. We are always influenced by expectations and self set goals. Which in reality not always will turn out perfectly how you expect them to be. If there is one thing you must always remind yourself to do until it becomes second nature. Is to live in the moment, have and idea of the future, and learn from the past. Or you will be adding unhealthy stress to yourself. Prioritize on what will be the most beneficial memory you will want to keep for tomorrow, and do think of what amazing breakfast you could have the next morning if you so wish to have.
