Enjoying
and fully experiencing the journey of life is as important as achieving goals
and reaching milestones. |

Our lives are guided by natural rhythms
that are particular to each of us and cannot be altered by force of will
alone. Life itself is a journey made up of processes and events that manifest
before us only to be swept away when time marches on. Whether we envision
ourselves creating a career, building a family, or developing the self, we
instinctively know when the time has come for us to realize our dreams
because all that is involved comes together harmoniously. When the time is
right, the passage of destiny cannot be blocked. Yet, as desperate as we are
to touch these beautiful futures we have imagined, we cannot grow if we are
not fully present in the evolutionary experience. The present can be
challenging, uncomfortable, and tedious, but life unfolds as it will. And the
universe will wait patiently as we make our way into the unknown. The fate that awaits us is not dependent on
our pace, so there is no reason to rush through life to reach those pinnacles
of success associated with the paths we have chosen. Enjoying and fully
experiencing the journey of life is as important as achieving goals and
reaching milestones. There are lessons we can learn during the moments that
seem insignificant that we cannot learn at any other time. However,
appreciating these takes patience because human beings tend to focus on the
fulfillment of expectations, rather than the simple joys of being. Like many people, you have no doubt longed
for the ability to fast forward through certain periods of your life. Yet
haste is, by its very nature, vastly more stressful than serene fortitude.
When you feel yourself growing impatient because the pace of your development
is deceptively slow, remember everything that will happen in your life will
occur in its own time. Quelling your urge to rush will enable you to witness
yourself learning, changing, and becoming stronger. There is so much to see
and do in between the events that we deem definitive. If you are patient
enough to take pleasure in your life’s unfolding, the journey from one
pinnacle to the next will seem to take no time at all. |
