When we have a lot of things to do and we’re busy rushing from one point to the next, our days can pass by in a blur. We may have dozens of tasks waiting for our attention and in an effort to get to them all we may rush forward trying to get as much done as possible. Going faster will often help us get more things done but it’s possible to rush so quickly through our days that we forget our focus and what it is we’re actually trying to accomplish. If there is pressure from others to hurry along we may find ourselves running from one place to another unaware of exactly what we’re doing. We may end up engaging our auto pilot and just keep rushing forward. Our days go by quickly even if we pay attention and if we’re distracted we may find days, even weeks have passed and we don’t remember how we spent the time. Time is a commodity we can never replace. It passes whether we pay attention or not, and once it’s gone can never be recaptured. Getting so caught up in running forward may prevent us from having our fullest experiences while we’re here. We can be successful in completing many tasks and still take the time we need to be aware and engaged, and enjoy each moment as it passes. We are in control of every decision. We can manage our time effectively and slow down enough to live our lives each moment. This life is a precious gift. Honoring it and being in control of our time will bring us great contentment and success.
We live in a “hurry up” world. Never before have we been expected to accomplish more than we are today. We are constantly bombarded with suggestions that we can go further faster, we can accomplish more with less, and we can do many things effectively at once. While it’s often true that we may move faster, it doesn’t always follow that doing so will bring us success. It doesn’t matter what others expect or what timeframe they follow. We are in control of our decisions and we can plan our lives in ways that bring us both success and happiness.
As we travel along there are many clues and cues available to us with each step we take. Sometimes the very answer we’re seeking is right in front of us but if we rush by too quickly we may miss it. It’s impossible to think clearly about our objectives if our first priority is the speed with which we reach them. Our days will pass no matter how we spend them. We can do things in ways that work best for us, take the time we need to see everything clearly, and accomplish any task before us. There isn’t anything we can’t do and do well. We can achieve any success we desire and we can do it in our own timeframe.
Today if you’ve been pushed to rush faster and get to the goal more quickly, think about what you’re trying to accomplish and find the road that works best for you. You know yourself better than anyone else and you know what you need to succeed. Listen for inspiration and make the best choice going forward. You are amazing and capable and nothing is out of reach. Plan your time and move ahead with confidence. Every destination is available to you. Find success your way and happiness will follow.
