Slowing Down

Slow down! You need your life. Slow down for yourself, for your health, and for the people around you. Make time to slow down. Don’t do too much. Doing too much doesn’t mean having too much. You can get a lot down when you slow down to think, to rest, to relax, to meditate, to love, to connect, to think for yourself, to innovate, to drink a cup of coffee, and to live your real life.

Please don’t run past your life. Don’t run past your health. Take care of your life. It is important. We need you. The world needs you. Choose time to relax yourself. Make time to be in the moment. Because running is not the way to get things done, slowing down is.

You are running because you think other people are getting things done. Wrong. When you slow down to be who you really are, then you can get a lot done. Don’t let people pressure you into what you cannot do. Don’t please people to harm yourself. It doesn’t worth it.

It is not how busy you are that counts. It is how productive you are that really matters. If you want to be productive, you must slow down to live your life.

Why Some Days Are Better

You can’t avoid bad days. You can’t control nature. You can change how you enjoy your day. Don’t worry about bad days. They are going to happen. Bad days are bad days. Don’t let them get you down. Focus on the light, not the darkness. When your day is not going well, find something that will make you really happy. Do something that will take your mind away from negative things. Call a friend. Take a walk around your neighborhood. Listen to great music. Meditate. Take a break from whatever is getting you down. Don’t try to force yourself through things. Wake yourself back, then start again.

Things are different. Don’t beat your up when things are not going your way. It is not always going to go your way. You have got to accept that. If not, suffer will come.

Try to love what you do. Don’t take on what you cannot do. Before you accept any assignment from anybody, you must do your own research. You must find out if it is what you can do. Because if you don’t do it well, it will hurt your image. Some days you will do well, some days you will not. But no matter what happens, don’t change how you see yourself. If you make a mistake, it is not about you; it is about the thing. Instead of looking at yourself as a weak person, look at the mistake as a learning opportunity. If you can do that, you will know why some days are better.
