I think we should all slow down sometimes. Life is crazy for us all at some point or another. It is too easy to get caught up in the complexities, chaos and stress that are in our daily life. We don't think often enough about ourselves. We are consumed and occupied with the thought of all the things we need to accomplish and trying to accomplish them, that we loose our inner peace. Most of the time we feel there is no time to rest, there are just too many demands and obligations to be met. We have our family, our jobs and any other obligations we have deemed worthy of occupying our every spare moment. We spread ourselves too thin.
What do you think would happen if you just decided to turn the ringer off, told your spouse and children you would tend to their needs later. Told the boss you had an appointment you just had to keep. What if you told your customers you would get to them another day, told your friends you would talk to them later. What if you just walked away from everything and everyone you thought was important and just took some time for yourself. What if you just sat alone somewhere that brought you peace, closed your eyes and took a deep breath and allowed yourself to let go. Allowed your mind to be free of all things. Allowed yourself a moment of peace. What do you think would happen?
The world would go on just fine without you.
