I thought about the contradiction. I was sitting in the car before driving off. I sat there for 2 minutes to let the car warm up but really to let spend some time in stillness before getting on the road.
It was a nice practice, for a lot of reasons.
I find myself rushing a lot nowadays. I should be at work by 8am every day but I find myself getting in late, 8:30am and a lot of times past 8:50am.
I think a lot of it falls on the fact that I do not sleep early enough. I would like to get to the place where I sleep by 10pm every night.
So what is the contradiction?
I believe we need a sense of urgency to achieve the things we need to achieve. I think we need to remind ourselves every AM and every PM what the most important things are to us.
I also think we need to enjoy the essence of life.
How do we live in slow motion but also w/ a sense of urgency.
I think by moving in slow motion we get to better feel and enjoy the essence of life. We have to balance enjoying that essence with actually achieving goals and living a life of excellence.
All my life I've been emphasizing the importance of balance. Never too high, never too low. Consistently consistent. I also try to emphasize the importance of building a healthy self-esteem. Having a perspective of no entitlement. Starting from zero and building yourself up in the right way. Letting go of insecurities, foolishness etc.
I know for some it is much harder than for others. But the fact is whatever hand you are dealt with in life is where development must start.
No retreat, no surrender.
In practicality, how do we do it?
Well, there is not enough time to do everything but there is enough time to do the most important things.
so the first step is to determine
1. What are the most important things to be -doing right now?
For me these are: - being more still, doing the right things, resetting, relooking at my past goals, dreams, being grateful
2. Eliminate the little things that take up your time:
From 5 minutes to 30 minutes, we spend our time on trivialities that take a toll on our time. and to be honest we are not just wasting 5 minutes or 30 minutes, we find out that we are wasting years. once accumulated.
For me these are things like: whatsapping, bbming, watching television, etc. there is so much! undersleeping, oversleeping,
3. Actually i'm not sure there is anything more profound to add. I think once we focus on eliminating the wrong activities and properly planning our lives, we would find out that there is more free time to be still, breathe and enjoy l'essence de la vie.
