Taking a Step Back...
Sometimes you need to take a step back to see the bigger picture. North American culture promotes a high velocity in everything we do.

As a result, we lose our depth and become 2 dimensional (I have talked about this before on other blogs). The problem with 2 dimensional people is that they lack character and they seldom do anything outside of what the lizard brain or the rest of society tells them to do. We are all guilty of this and thanks to our conformist, herd mentality , we don't have to be anything more than 2 dimensional. Taking a step back in life can change your perspective.
