    This hits me like a brick wall with my young children. Seeing them change so rapidly is a glimpse into how short life is and how often an experience unknowingly becomes the last of its kind.

    There is so much to be gained by slowing down, focusing on what you can be grateful for, and not striving for more.

      don't you just go back to your old habits once this realization has passed.

      we were desiged to want more it impossible to override that design.

        Not if you have a transformed and renewed mind. Once you taste the fruit of life, drink the water, eat the bread, drink the blood - nothing else will suffice.

        This is a hard teaching and not all can accept it. Those that do will find peace, life, meaning, and rest.
