Not so fast
It's useful to get things done in a timely manner. And yet,
the quickest way is not always the best way.
Our culture has become geared to immediate gratification.
But often, life's treasures can gain much more value when
you wait a while for them.
Though there are more and more ways to achieve instant
results, there is really no way to receive instant
fulfillment. The things that bring real meaning and joy to
life are the things in which you're able to invest yourself
over time.
Life is best when it can be savored. Rushing from one thing
to the next can fill your days with sensation, yet it leaves
your spirit sadly empty.
You don't have to do it all or have it all today. Take the
time to fully experience and enjoy the moment you're in.
Life is already filled with more richness than you could
ever imagine. Give yourself the opportunity to take it all
in.
