Dragons and Tacos

When Dragons, Tacos, and Time Teach Us Life's Greatest Lessons

Ever been caught up in the whirlwind of work, with every second scheduled for productivity? That was me, not too long ago. But then, something small yet profound happened. My young son came up to me with a book in his hands, eyes gleaming with excitement. "Dad, can we read a book?" he asked.

In that instant, a thousand thoughts raced through my mind – deadlines, emails, meetings... But then, I remembered the 5-second rule. Not the one about dropped food, but the one about decision-making. Within those crucial seconds, I realized something. No work, no matter how pressing, could outweigh this moment. The reports could wait. The book couldn't.

So, we read about fiery dragons and their love for tacos. And guess what? Those few minutes reading with my son, they were magical. It reminded me that life isn't just about being busy. It's about being present, especially for those little moments that matter most.

In our quest for success, let's not forget what we're working for. Sometimes, it's the unplanned pauses, like reading a bedtime story about taco-loving dragons, that hold the true essence of life.
