You deserve to slow down. Take your time. Where are you rushing to? What destination are you focused on?
Like the tortoise and the hare fable...slow and steady wins the race. We can hurry like the hare, but what are we rushing to win? Are we going from milestone to milestone? Are we so busy hustling that we don't even realize we might be fighting for something that we might not even want?
When we slow down and take the brave step of hopping out of the noise, the hustle and bustle of programmed life, we go within the shell, just like the turtle, to see all of what we really are. We can stop and reflect. We can see what is truly aligned for us in that present moment.
If we all carry a tool belt of wisdom, are we brave enough to trust that by taking our time, exactly what is aligned for us will appear at the end of the dock, like a boat for us to board. The world is a paradox. Trust that by slowing down and taking your time, you are truly taking leaps and bounds. That being the tortoise truly does win the race...the race that doesn't have a milestone destination to rush to or "win". The race can be "won" by allowing what is aligned to come towards you. When that boat arrives, you'll be ready to board and your tool belt of wisdom will be there for you wherever that may take you.
It's easy to join the programmed world of loud, busy, chaotic, hustle. It takes a brave soul to trust their aligned destination, to self reflect and become self aware and "win" the race at a slow and steady pace. When aligned action then appears, you move at a pace that leaps far beyond possibilities ever imagined.
You are running your own race. Only you get to choose the pace.
Stay soft, Stay gentle, stay kind.
With an open and grateful heart,
Melissa
