There is no point in rushing after all. Did you know turtles live on for a century, if not more? How peacefully and relax-edly they do it, I wish we could.
But more importantly, doing things at a leisurely pace is so important, because the journey is perhaps more important than our destination (goals, and eventually death). Goals really are endless, you accomplish one, the next one’s ready and there. But if you accomplish something at a leisurely pace, then you are most certain to learn so much more from it that if you rushed.
Moreover, it’s so much more fun. I know a few people that rush into and out of everything. The rushing out is causal: Burnout. When you rush, specially in our age, where we are focused on getting as much job experience when we are young, you most certainly experience burnout much quicker. If you did something you really like to do at a leisurely pace, We can all be quite certain that we will enjoy it, and learn so much more out of it.
This reminds of what Google’s In-house philosopher says and I paraphrase: you have to think, not just do. Doing all things leisurely also gives us that opportunity to think that we might not otherwise have.
Of course that is not to say that everything must be done at such a relaxed pace that it may never be done at all… It’s a question of doing “urgent” things with a breath – not rushing yourself, even if the task is rushed. There is no point in putting too much pressure on any one task, because honestly, no situation has a life-and-death outcome. Ofcourse, other than…
For now, alvida.
