Most of my life I have kept setting big goals for myself, sometimes not even realizing how tough they could get, sometimes they are not very practical also, in that bargain at times I end up getting drained out physically and emotionally. Setting very big goals in life can burn you out but at the end of it when the goal is achieved the satisfaction is ultimate.
At some point of time in life you also feel that it's enough. All your life you cannot spend on fast track chasing one after another goal, you want to go slow and easy. I am not sure when that feeling I will get where I would really want to go slow and easy and not put myself through this one after another test of life. I really wish to change it for me, but then at this point of time I also feel that this is the time for me to do things and if I do not do it now than when. In another 10 years from now, my energy level will be very different, I may not be able to do certain things so I would like to make the most of it now.
Life is not a race, but at the same time life is really short, 70 - 80 years just fly by and then after a certain age you have regrets of not doing certain things in life when it was the right time. I do not wish to have those regrets and would also like to experience life in its full capacity. When I keep setting goals for myself and challenging my own limits, I know that it's taking me somewhere physically and mentally.
Some goals of my life have been extremely tough, like the recent one of building the home of my dream, it did drain me out but now when I look back at it, I feel it was all worth it. Some of my friends do tell me, what was the need to do it in a set time limit, I was not accountable to anyone. But then that's the whole point, when you are not accountable to anyone, it all the more becomes difficult to achieve. In that case you need to be disciplined.
Yes, I would like to change a few things and slow down, but possibly this is not the time.
Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸

I agree with you ma'am, but why we feel like life is a race is because we have a lot we really want to do and achieve, and we feel that if we don't do them now we might never get the time to do them again.
Just like you said sometimes we just need to slow down a bit and continue the race
The beginning of every thing good begins with a challenge.
Sometimes, I set big goals for myself too, like juggling school, hobbies, and personal projects. It can get overwhelming, but the sense of achievement when you reach a goal is worth it.

This is so relatable. Sometimes it feels like if we slow down, we’ll miss out on something big. But at the same time, constantly pushing ourselves is not something we can constantly do so we become frustrated. Balance is too necessary to overlook
I think the journey doesn't stop unless we decide to stop, which can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on how we choose to view it. Taking some rest every now and then may be necessary, especially when chasing big dreams that push out way out of our comfort zones. Arguably, it's also in those moments that we experience life to the fullest, when we're out of our comfort zone.
