Considering that my last post was about prioritizing my time, this is quite timely.
I took my oldest to his youth group meeting tonight, in a hurry of course. He asked why I was in such a rush, I not so calmly explained that I was hurrying because I had so much to do when I got back home.
What did my very wise young man say to that? “Do less”.
It’s worth repeating. Do Less.
Most people I know are in a constant state of frenzy, rushing to the next place, working as fast as they can to move up the ladder. I’m definitely guilty of that. Life is a roller coaster racing at top speed. The only problem with that, at top speed you can’t enjoy the scenery. You can’t even see it, because everything is a blur.
Slowing down, doing less, doesn’t mean stop working, or be lazy. It means take a breath now and then, look around, truly see and enjoy what’s around you. Walk instead of run. Play more, laugh more, live more.
Thank you, son, for showing me the way.

What a wise child you have! We all should make an effort to do less.

He’s a very smart young man I must say. 90% of my time is spent in a big rush because I plan to do so much with so little time. I think I’ll give his ideal thought.
