This picture (and straightforward blog) really spoke to me. Here is a link to the the blog I read. The title of the blog was - success. So simple, yet so profound and very difficult for me.
I would LOVE to slow down. I would love to not feel like I am under pressure constantly, or needing to feel like I must to hurry from place to place, or needing to know what I am doing next, or where I am going next, or worrying about what I am doing tomorrow, or what I am going to do next week......... I think you get the idea. But sadly....this is not something that comes easily to me. When I need to be somewhere, or am planning to go some place or do something, I am always in a hurry (though I never need to be as I am a good manager of time). I get anxious if I am not in the process of getting there. What is most sad and a bit self-defeating is that I bring this on myself. There is not "really" anyone around me that makes me constantly "hurry"......just me and my crazy brain. ;-)
With the start of another academic year beginning tomorrow at work, I want to try to remember this. Just breathe......do not hurry.....in the end that will equal success in many ways.
