Take The Time
December 15, 2010 at 9:58 pm | Posted in Messages | Leave a commentTake the Time:
We spend our lives trying to cope in a time-compressed, 24/7 society that’s filled with noise, distraction and unending demands. There is nothing like the holiday season to encourage us to feel even more rushed, preoccupied or worried about getting everything done. In keeping with the “idea” of the holiday rush, here’s a calming, encouraging message.
Take the time this season to be patient when someone gets in your way or behaves rudely and turns into a Grinch before your very eyes. Take the time to drive safely, even if it will make you late. Take the time to listen with your ears and your eyes when talking with someone you love.
Take the time to do something nice for yourself in the midst of preparing for the holidays. Take the time to stop, breathe deeply, relax and smile when weather, traffic or long lines screw up your schedule. Take the time to smile at people who look like they need a moment of kindness or tolerance.
Take the time to reflect on each day instead of letting your experiences slide into oblivion. Take the time to truly look at your surroundings, indoors and out, and see how things evolve. Notice & absorb. Take the time to learn something new every day, each week to enrich your life and keep things simple. You will be glad that you did!
