The younger generation is full of goals and milestones in mind, aiming to achieve and cross them all out. This was the focal point of Shriver’s speech when she addressed the audience at the event. The rush to fulfill as many goals as possible has not left any room to take a deep breath and slow down.

While stressing the importance of participating in a community and taking a break, the journalist reflected upon the true nature of life. While one must enjoy life as it comes, many fail to appreciate the small moments in chase of something bigger. This calls for taking a moment to truly look at the journey and evaluate the goals.
