Goal for the Day: Remember that Life’s not a Race

Why are we always in a hurry? It seems that “finishing” has become more important than “getting there.” For those of you who live in areas that have been affected by winter weather, have you noticed that drivers are still speeding and rushing even on unsafe conditions? What’s so important that they need to risk their lives and yours to get there in a hurry?


Life’s not a race. While some things are time-sensitive, most everything else can happen naturally. The only deadlines we really have are those we make ourselves. Don’t forget the importance of the journey and to take the time to learn and enjoy yourself along the way. We don’t need to sacrifice our quality of life in order to reach a spurious deadline. Crossing the finish line isn’t important as what you see along the track.
