This morning, while I was working on a blog, Lupe our dog came and sat next to me. I pushed her to the side, “stay away,” I said. Immediately she bounced back trying to get my attention; I got a little annoyed, because “I was busy.”
Then it hit me... Too often when my wife or kids approach me to talk I use the "too busy" excuse. Too often, I am telling them that I do not have time for our family, that I do not have time to listen to their occurrences, expectations and hopes. Next time, when I want to play with Lupe, the dog, she will look at me thinking, “stay away, I am tired... you had your chance.” So here is the lesson for me: No matter how busy you are, always take time to listen, to be attentive to your wife, to your kids, to your friends; they all are counting on you! Learn from the past, plan for the future but be crazy about the present… Enjoy life in the moment! - Mauricio Fraga-Rosenfeld
