Why is everybody rushing?
Where are we rushing to?
You can't be late on your own life. Be it for a promotion or new job, relationship, marriage, building a family. Everything has their own timeline.
You are perfectly on time for your life. Life isn't a checklist. It's a journey to be felt every moment of.
It's okay to enjoy where you are without thinking about next. By not doing that, you're stealing joy from the present moment. Growth isn't always about where you're going or how fast you're going. It is also how about deeply rooted you are. The best trees flourish when they're deeply and correctly rooted— and they take their time, they don't rush it. They lose some leaves along the way but they keep growing— stronger inward and fresher outward. When you rush things, you're hyper focused into the big goals, you forget to cheer on your small wins.
Take your time. You only got one life to live.
