Hurry is violence

I’m re-reading the book, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. In the first section it made the statement that hurry is violent to health and well-being… This struck me as true and convicting. It’s easy to get caught in the “rat-race” of things to do and missions to accomplish.

This is not the pace of life I want. It’s antagonistic to being present with people I love and also with myself. The present with myself… that is a big growth edge. I know I’ve been running from my inner world for a long time. It’s gotten better but I think it requires befriending the word “no” and saying “while this is good, it’s not good for me.” I find that befriending these boundaries is caring for a deep, younger part of me that needed to be loved. It’s scary and sometimes painful. I know the peace comes in trusting God’s love and sovereignty. Also trusting friends and community like this one to be vulnerable with.

Thanks for reading. I hope this pause and reflection causes you to assess your own sense of hurry and what it costs you. I’d love to hear your process if you want to share.
