In a busy family there is a lot
of activity. We sometimes feel imprisoned by all the work, school,
extracurricular activities, housework, meetings, and special events.
In the press to do it all, we may
lose our peace because of the hurry. We rush to eat; we rush to work;
we rush to get there on time. Much of this cannot be helped.
But hurry has no blessing, as the
proverb goes. We can create quick tempers and a lot of frustration if
we try to hurry too much.
When we allow enough time to slow
things down, we give ourselves a chance to enjoy what we're doing, and
to develop along spiritual lines.
Inner peace depends on our
keeping a balance in all the things we do.
Only then can we feel the joy
that comes from having enough time to do things quietly and smoothly,
and value the inner peace that comes when we do not hurry.
How can I take my time today and
enjoy myself? |
