Take a Moment

Take a moment and think about your life. Think about your daily grind, your routine, the way you take the subway to work every morning.

Think about the hundreds of people you pass, brush shoulders with, even push past. Think about the way you interact with people. It's weird to think, but you interact with hundreds of people on a daily basis and don't even realize it.

These interactions are small moments -- tiny, seemingly insignificant seconds of your life. They have no weight to them, no purpose, no real meaning, yet they have significant power. These small moments all add up to the bigger sum of your life, creating opportunities and experiences that are missed or abused by the hurried and impatient.

What if you took five minutes to slow down and appreciate the people and the interactions around you? Took a moment to notice the sorrow on one woman's face, or the pain in that man's eyes sitting next to you on the subway?

What could your tiny interaction mean to them? We spend our lives waiting for the next big event to happen in our lives, the next destination, usually unaware of the moments being created around us.
