It seems we want everything in an instant. What is an instant? An instant is an infinitesimal space of time.  It seems humanity has gone the way of instant gratification and the ‘I want it all right now culture’. The world has moved towards us experiencing everything as fast as we can! We now have instant coffee, fast food, fast microwaving, instant TV on demand, super-fast internet, instant messaging, speed dating, instant email, drive through weddings, instant buying, exercising in 5mins, instant music, instant apps………..

"Time rolling across the hills of life, shows up the deep valleys, the high mountains and the plateaus. Are you observing yourself at each stage, and do you have the patience to hold on to your dreams throughout the adventure?
