Life is a journey rather than a destination and to make the most out of life we must slow down and enjoy the journey.
We should enjoy our sleeping and waking moments; we should take time and enjoy our meals; our families; our life’s work; the people that we meet along the pathway of life; we should take some time and smell the roses and view the beauty of nature.
Most of life is routine and we should learn to enjoy the simple things as well as the great things and build up memories around them. Too many people hurry through life without experiencing thrills of the moment. We need to have dreams and goals to accomplish however; we need to enjoy the journey towards fulfilling our dreams and realizing our goals.
We cannot get caught up or so focused on a project or a goal that we miss out on the excitement of the journey.
The fact is after reaching a goal there will be other more goals to reach; after conquering a mountain there will be other mountains to conquer because humans were designed for growth and for self expression therefore, the excitement is really in the journey to the finish line.
On the other hand many people who are always in a hurry have left wisdom behind; they are very busy but not effective. Many people just get busy with activities without really knowing what they want of life; they have no plans, no real goals or at most they have vague dreams for their lives.
People who take up more commitment than they can effectively handle tend to hurry. I believe one of the most important word we need to say is NO. We must say NO to any commitment that are not really in line with our goals and which will overwhelm us in order to say YES to the most important things in life. People who are in the habit of putting things off until the eleventh hour also lead hurried lives.
When we hurry through life we become stressed out which leads to a burn-out. People who hurry through life are strangers to peace of mind. Slow down enjoy and appreciate the people in our lives.
We have one life to live and we will never pass through this path again. Therefore, we need to live amazed.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are we not to be?.....
