what are we waiting for?

Since I've been out of America, I've had some room to breathe and discover some things about life and culture. I have come to a realization that up until I moved here, everything in my life has been a preparation of some sort for the future. Whether it was school or working or practicing this or that, I spent all of my time and effort preparing for an unknown future. Preparation is great and necessary to a certain extent, don't get me wrong, but I don't believe it is meant to consume our lives the way it does. In America, it tends to define us. In Belize, however, or at least on the island, we let tomorrow worry about itself. We like to stop and enjoy the life we've been given. If people were less concerned about the latest and greatest crap that they have to work so hard for, and just learn to be satisfied with very little, they wouldn't have to let so much of their precious time slip right through their fingers while they punch the clock day after day. Take my advice and relax and enjoy the day, I don't know, maybe sell some stuff and work less hours, it does wonders for your health.
