The rush seems to rule the day. Rushing to get somewhere, to get something done, to beat the crowds...and for what?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To move on to the next thing that needs to be addressed. This is a real problem for many people. There are demands from family, children and parents and siblings. There are demands from work and the worry if you don’t get it all right you might lose your job. There are financial demands that require your full attention and focus. There are demands to be healthier and to rush to the gym or get the grocery shopping done There are demands from home to do the laundry, let the dog out and clean the house. The list goes on and on and on. In fact, the list never ends. You never quite get to that destination, because as soon as you get there, something pulls you onward to rush to the next place. The time to enjoy your success is often stolen by the need to move on to what’s next.

The demands are real, so the rush is necessary, right? Not really. In fact the more you rush and hurry, the more you reduce your effectiveness.

If we all make an effort to slow down, we can be more efficient, stop getting distracted, clear our minds, and have more time to focus on what’s important. We can stop feeling overwhelmed and start increasing our creativity because we have more time to think about new solutions to problems. We can improve our skills and learn more because we’re more focused.

Slow down and enjoy every single moment of every single day.
