I was in the toilet with my daughter at the airport after we landed in India. She needed a wee and suddenly she realised she needed a potty too. Our family was waiting outside to receive us. I told my daughter that it’s ok, you can finish your potty and then we will go.
What she said next made my day and taught me a very good lesson.
She said, "Yeah, we can be slow. We don't have to be quick, we can choose to be slow"
It hit me hard. We constantly complain that time flies. But time is in our control. We can choose how fast or slow we want it to pass.
In the world of competition and race, it is so important to learn and teach our children to savour every moment, be conscious and aware in each moment, and really lead life slowly.
