RE: Being in a hurry kills more of us than war!

in #life8 years ago

I just gotta say . . . WOW. The amount of wisdom in this post is immense. I could relate to a whole ton of it.

Being in a hurry to get, where? And when I get there, I immediately want to get somewhere else. Then somewhere else. I wasn't looking at the JOURNEY, only the DESTINATION. Recovery totally changed that for me.

The same thing happened to me lmao . . getting pulled over on the way to an AA meeting. And it was one of the first times in my life that I wasn't nervous in front of a police officer . . I wasn't doing anything wrong this time. Finally!

But in the last couple years, I have been learning how to slow down and enjoy the process. Such a different type of life. But so much more rewarding. It's almost like I wasn't even looking at things, enjoying things, just blasting by to get to the next thing to blast by, to get to the next thing to blast by . . . etc.

Your posts get me to think A LOT. And this isn't an easy task. So thanks for your insight.
