Focus on yourself.<br />

CHERISH THE MOMENT.<br />

The allegedly selfish tone of the above lines drowns out<br />

the positive aspect of the statement: in times of hustle<br />

and bustle, thirst for action and chasing "likes" we tend<br />

to forget ourselves and live in the moment.<br />

Certainly, every moment is followed<br />

by the next, so there should<br />

be enough of them for us to enjoy.<br />

However, it is time to focus on being<br />

fully present. Being aware of life. Because<br />

life is as unique as every one<br />

of us.<br />

Listening to the soft rustling of the<br />

leaves in autumn, marvelling at the<br />

dancing dewdrops in the spring sun,<br />

enjoying the humming of the bees in<br />

summer or feeling the snow. Taking a<br />

look behind the scenes of life. Deliberately<br />

making time to do exactly this. And doing it<br />

with all of our senses.<br />

Because time flows relentlessly,<br />

whether we like it or not. What happened<br />

will be forever stored in the<br />

past. Only our memories bear witness<br />

to things that once existed. And this treasure<br />

chest of memories wants to be filled.<br />

With trivial things that often eke out an existence<br />

on the side lines. The ostensible remedy for this<br />

fast-paced life is to use time, our most precious good,<br />

purposefully. Let’s take it back up on the fully-lit stage of<br />

approval. In days gone by, life was led in harmony with<br />

the sun and the moon. At sunrise people went up to the<br />

mountain pasture or into the forests or fields to work.<br />

They went to bed when the sun bade the day farewell.<br />

With the invention of technology, we<br />

took away some of time’s power.<br />

With our smartphones ready, we desperately<br />

try to capture the moment.<br />

But while we're looking for the perfect<br />

selfie, we’ve already lost sight of<br />

the reason why we're staring at the<br />

screen in the first place instead of<br />

just enjoying the moment and simply<br />

leaving the phone on standby without<br />

having a guilty conscience. Of<br />

course, it is now part of our adventures<br />

to capture them on some device<br />

and share them adding #voilässig<br />

with our friends. But even Paracelsus<br />

knew that it is the dose that makes the<br />

poison. This is the reason why, for more<br />

than a decade, we have put a KOMMA behind<br />

everyday life by conviction. From the<br />

Greek κόμμα (comma), which stands for cut or<br />

break. Making a cut to living our lives to the fullest and<br />

not getting lost in the daily routine.<br />

To being aware of time.<br />

To living in the moment.<br />
