What Had Happened Was...

I want you to do something for me. Envision what your last trip out in public looked like. During your trip, think about what was going on around you. Well, what happened? Were kids screaming? Did a rude person take your parking spot? If those questions don't sound like your kind of day, then did someone help you when you least expected it? Did you receive a compliment? Was it a perfect day?

When I think about my last trip in public, I think of it as an adventure. The adventure is observing what happens. I like to observe how couples interact, how parents and children respond to each other, and the looks on faces when something goes wrong. Those observations are priceless and they create stories to share for the rest of my life.

Over the years, those who know me best know I have a good memory. I can recall details many forget. They ask me how I am able to remember so many things. It can come natural to me, but I don't rely on genetics. I tell people it's about the choices I make. I choose to not use illegal substances and drink alcohol. I choose to play brain games and strengthen my mind. I choose to put down the technology and experience life. What happens when you look at technology? You don't look at life happening around you.

Do you want to look back on your life and only recall the times you spent on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest? Could you imagine if technology caused you to miss out on the most important moments in your life? Do you want to become a slave to your mobile devices, video game systems, and TVs? I know I don't. I am going to go back to living my life. Before you do the same, watch this video: http://blog.petflow.com/a-video-everyone-needs-to-see/
