The rush of getting somewhere is enticing and intoxicating. I can understand why we are always in a rush to get somewhere. I want to see what is at the end or around the next corner. I might cheat and look at the end of the book sometimes to see where I am going.
As I set out on my journey to the NADD conference in San Fransisco I recognize that I am rushing my way to where I am going. I have to remind myself to stop and smell the roses. I have to force myself at times to enjoy the journey. More so, I have to commit to being slower, more conscientious, more intentional.
As I move forward in my career I feel I am doing the same thing. I have so much I want to do and learn and share that I forget to stop and breathe and enjoy the journey. I am not to sure where I am going but I catch myself trying to peak from time to time.
and I ask myself....
Do I like rushing to get to where I am going?
What is the fascination with rushing?
and
How can I re-write my relationship with rushing?
How often are we rushing in our daily lives, and how often do we drop, stub or forget something because of our rushing.
I am not convinced by the allure of rushing. I am very intrigued to be more involved and enveloped by the mystery and spend time in the moment.
So it is time to let go of the allure and trappings of rushing.
I am inviting myself to channel the turtle who beat the hare in the race. I will get to the finish line before the speedy rusher, and I will do it slowly and one step at a time.
As I prepare myself to learn about the unique ways others are caring for others and themselves, I look forward to moving slow, taking my time and soaking it all in. I am excited to not be exausted by the end of this trip and be energized and inspired by all I allowed myself to witness because I tool the time to slow down.
I am the Turtle.
