In our lives, many people try to cram as many things into a few hours as humanly possible. They complain about traffic lights, long bus waits and slow computers and they believe that if they have a few extra hours a day, they would treat them differently. What would they spend those extra hours on? Definitely not on nothing. So, along with their busy life, their focus are always on the external world. They spend more time with the rest of the world than they ever would with themselves. In fact, many of us are so busy, we somehow forget that we are living-beings!
Therefore, the next time there is a jam, a long bus wait or a late friend, spend some time with yourself. Don't complain or fuss about it. Take time to notice yourself on the inside. Take time to be really present in the situation and look around like you have never seen the place before. Instead of constantly avoiding the wait, try to enjoy the wait and give yourself the chance to have a feel of nothingness.
Only when you have done it will you realise that it is actually quite relaxing.
