Point of Reason

Point of reason is the place where we can share thoughts and experiences about daily living. There is much we can share and learn from each other as we journey through life.

Life is fast. There is so much that happens in a day. Sometimes it feels like we are running on a treadmill. For each of us the treadmill is set at different speeds throughout the day. At times we are doing a casual and comfortable stroll in the park type pace and there are times when we are in a mad dash where we find ourselves sprinting through life going from task to task. We are so busy going through our days activities that we don't really live in the moment.

Today I was driving home from work in rush hour traffic. If you know me, you will know that I absolutely hate traffic and I try to avoid it at any cost. I will take longer routes to ensure that I'm not stuck in traffic. However, today I decided to take the shortest way home and I just put on some of my favorite music and just sat there and relaxed and funny enough it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I realized that I spend much of my time stressed out in situations that I have absolutely no control over which only makes me agitated and anxious. Instead of living in the moment that I am in, I am preoccupied with the next moment and what lies ahead and what I would rather be doing.

When we live in the moment we are able to appreciate life a whole lot more. Whether the moment is pleasant or not, when we are able to accept it for what it is and give the moment the attention that it deserves then we are able to learn from it, enjoy it, endure it and grow from it . So let's snap out of the trance that we might be in as we go through life and start living in the moments that we have been given in this life as we strife to live life to the fullest.

Usain Bolt the fastest man on earth has just received his latest toy, its a 2010 Nissan GT-R. Its quite an impressive piece of machine which is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in a breath-taking 3.5 seconds! According to information from the Nissan GT-R official website, this is not just a car, it's a supercar. It's handcrafted with 485-hp twin-turbo V6 engine with dual clutch 6-speed transmission...wow. This is one of the first 2010 Nissan GT-R in the island of Jamaica. With the sweet ride, Bolt continues to set the pace on and off the track.

My only concern is that he drives safely and avoid speeding even though the temptation to speed will be great. We need him healthy and alive so that he can continue to be an inspiration to many as he continues to dominate on the track and field circuit. The honorable Usain Bolt is taking it to the world in fine style. Go Bolt go!

We have heard the saying many times - 'little things make a big difference'. I was given a good reminder of it recently as I traveled overseas.

I wrote this article while I was on an airplane heading to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. During the boarding process I realize that with all the packing I did, somehow I forgot to carry a pen. Yeah, something as basic as a pen can make a huge difference to how smoothly your trip goes. I had to borrow a pen at different points throughout the flight to fill out the necessary forms along the way. Thankfully, there were some very lovely senior citizens that were willing to share their pens with me.

Its easy to remember the big things in life, the things we deem as super important but we sometimes forget the little things that make a big difference. The little things that make the big plans and ideas that we have work.The funny thing about big things is that they are pretty obvious but small things can be easily overlooked. So it make sense to focus more on the small things and not sweat the big stuff because big things will work themselves out.
