As each generation moves forward and as technology continues to move a lightening speed, we come to expect more and more as a society. Gone are the days of sitting down for dinner and having an actual conversation. We don't have time for that...are you kidding! Instead we are busy working to pay off our expensive cars, clothes, mobile devices, stuff....stuff and more STUFF.

If you compare our standard of living to that of 30 or 40 years ago it is only increasing. I thought that Moores law only applied to technology, but the material things that we all come to expect and that is driven by in many cases "debt" seems to follow this same trend. Exponential expectations!

This is true for most of people. A few years ago I was deployed and I realized something. I never take the time to enjoy what I've been blessed with. I live in Hawaii and I take it for granted. Since then, I force myself to go and take a break a few times a week. I just go walk on the beach or take a hike and just sit somewhere in nature. It helps me to remember that I have one life and I've been blessed tremendously. No matter what happens out in the world it's not worth to lose my life in the busyness.
