Life is often times way too rushed. We are always in a hurry to go somewhere, to do something, to be someone, to eat something... And in the process we end up losing things, forgetting people, getting confused, getting lost, and if we are (un)luck, your head goes bonkers.
A rushed life is anything but fun. The stress involved is overwhelming, depressing and annoying. The fact that you're constantly thinking of hurdles and obstacles makes it all the harder. Each day begins with "Oh No!" and ends with "Glad that's done!" Life becomes a bitter pill to swallow. Thinking becomes a terrible chore.
The one antidote to rush is slow down. As impossible as it sounds, there's nothing more curing than slowing down. Take your time to do the task, to fall in love with the task. Take the opportunity to talk to people, to smile and laugh with them. Take time to smell the coffee, and not just gobble it down your throat. Take time to smell the flowers, and not just give a quick glance.
Most of all, rest in Jesus. He says "Come to me all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Call on Him when things become too much. Rest in Him. Quiet down, and enjoy His presence. Fall in Love with Him. A session with Him will never leave you the same at all.
So stop sprinting through life, and take time to relax.
