Hurry is a Habit
ByI try to stay away from hurry as much as possible. I am completely clumsy. Hairbrushes go flying, dinner gets dropped, and turns in the car get missed. I’ve found it’s best for me to at least pretend there is no reason to hurry.
Some people are more talented then I am though, and they find they can hurry well. Next thing you know everything they do is hurried. Leisure walks are rushed. Getting the kids ready for Grandma’s is just as frantic as getting the kids ready for school. And rarely is anything done one at a time.
Have you ever been in the car silently saying nasty remarks to the slow car ahead of you, only to realize you are actually early?
Or heaven forbid have to wait in a line – any line. The heart rate goes up and you clench your teeth. Do you really want to live this way? Hurrying yourself, your co-workers, your kids, your pets constantly? That can’t be good for anybody.
Take a look at your pace today. Is everything hurried? Does it need to be?
And if it does need to be hurried, is there one thing you can take out of the schedule in the future so you can live your life at a more sane pace?

unfortunately this is my life…..thanks for the reminder that it doesn’t have to be and shouldn’t be this way.
I’m a laid back kind of guy but I do often notice this kind of behavious when I’m out and about. The thing that amuses me most about it is that I can sense most people are rushing through activities so they can simply go home and do absolutely nothing.
It’s a strange way to live.
