Look around.

…….

By Marvelous MichaelPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

We’re told to run faster, work harder,

But why?

When the world is burning and no one’s looking?

We’re too busy chasing success,

But success isn’t in the race,

It’s in the moments we miss while running.

Stop.

Look around.

What really matters?
