What’s the urgency in what you are doing? Who’s putting pressure on you to get everything done right now? What can wait?
Too often, we chase dreams and deadlines and ideas in a rush-rush-rush world, bombarded by things with seeming urgency. Some things can wait. In fact, most things can wait – something I’m learning more and more as I fill my plate too full on a regular basis. This week, I stopped and posted this up on my wall: What can wait? And, Does it all have to happen right now?

I’m usually in work mode. Even when I’m home. But every now and then, I completely disconnect – usually by heading to the beach. Or a run.
Still, finding moments like this daily, where I can just pause, and reflect, and enjoy, is important.
