Hello World,
Okay, let's just jump right into this. Why do we as a society feel the need to rush all the time? Why are we go, go, go! Why do we need to get from place A to B in under twenty minutes? Why? Why? Why? I was thinking about this the other day and I thought to myself "why am I always in a hurry?". I know the answer to that question and I can honestly tell you that I am trying to catch up.
I feel like I am behind everyone else. I feel like all the people I went to high school with are successful, they are getting married, starting a family, traveling the world (well not right now), they're just doing things. And I feel like I am just floating around in space, twiddling my thumbs as I try to figure out what that heck I'm doing. So, what am I doing? Who knows? Where does this feeling stem from? Is it what has been ingrained in us as a society. Go to school, get married, have kids, in that exact order. Why do we keep up with these ideas from over fifty years ago? Is it because we are comfortable or scared to break the mold that was pre-formed for us? I don't know, well I do. I know that I am in no rush for the marriage and kids portion of it. What I do know is that I need to learn how to forge my own path and figure out what life looks like to me. What do I want, what do I need, what do I deserve? Those are great questions that I do not have the answer to.
You know what's crazy? I love to meditate, I enjoy taking a minute in the stillness to just breathe. To learn how to breathe and focus on only breathing. To clear my head. So why can't I come up with some kind of mantra when I feel like this. Maybe "you will forge your own path" or "take your time, what is meant for you will come" or "there is no need to rush God's plan for you". I like the last two maybe I'll include them in my mediation this week or as a soothing statement when I feel like I need to hurry up or I am feeling discouraged about where I am. I think that's a great idea and I'll definitely give it a shot and let you know how it goes!
Another day as an adult (who keeps rushing).........damn,
Tasha
