"No person, place, or situation benefits from our hurried pushing forward. Everything and everyone benefits from our slowing down - letting go and letting God- so that a natural pace and progression can be discovered."
The above quote comes directly from the writing in week 8. And, I think it's true. I can honestly say that I am someone who a lot of the time has my focus on the finish line. Sometimes I run too fast and I trip, lose sight of my goal, or get lost on the way. I don't know what exactly it is that I'm in such a hurry for, but I need to slow down. This really goes into all aspects of my life. I always just want and expect everything to happen overnight, and that just isn't the case. I need to create some sort of moderation in my life, including the pace of which I prefer to get things done. Maybe my entire life doesn't need to be broken down into months, weeks, days, and hours. I do have an entire life to live, so I should take it slow. Eventually I'm going to hit that finish line, we all do. So, what am I running so desperately fast for?
Morning Pages:
CHECK.. I included another letter to God in these pages. I enjoy praying more now, but I enjoy writing the letters too.
