Hurry Up Already

Is this what your life looks like? A blur as you run past.  So much so that you cannot see the scenery, just the shapes and maybe a few colours?
Are you always in the 'hurry up already' mode trying to get others to come along at your speed, read your mind and be ready with the answers before you even ask the question?
This can open you up to a lot of opportunities to grow. 
Stop right now. 
Just for a second. 
Look around you and see exactly where you are. 
Describe it - the colours, the scents, the shapes, the feeling in the air, the environment, what you are doing there, how you feel, how you are breathing.  Every bit of the description is leading you to see the whole picture instead of the flash as it goes by or even worse, how it looks in the rear view mirror when you have not even had a chance to consider it.

So when you ask someone to 'hurry up already' or someone asks you to, ask them why and have them take a moment to consider the moment and space around them. You will find appreciation  and peace.
