What You Miss When You Don’t Slow Down
// June 18th, 2009 // No Comments » // family
Every so often I have a conversation with my Dad that makes me think about my life and lessons I’m currently learning. During our morning coffee out by the pool he asked me what this time off has been teaching me. It took me a moment to answer but here is what I came up with,
YOU CAN DO LESS AND BE HAPPY.
Here is the myth I bought into. In order to be happy I had to stay busy. Constantly on the go with things. Busy with work, busy with projects, busy with life. Constantly asking myself what’s next instead of taking quiet time and enjoying my kids and making sure that regularly get out with my wife. I get so much gratification by working my way through lists and my love for my job that I forget to slow down. This time off has been great and I have had the chance to enjoy my family, recharge and remember that balance in life is important.
