Rushing ahead vs being in the moment

8. November 2007 by admin.

For the last few days I found myself feeling frustrated. At first, I was puzzled. I am working on things that are aligned with my values and that I want to develop in my life. When I looked to see where is the unsettled feeling coming from, I realized that I tried to do too much too soon. I skipped steps. I tried to do something that I was not ready for. For example, I want to write a speech from the 1st try and I get frustrated when I have to re-work it. This is a skill I am trying to learn - how to write effective speeches, that make sense and also have a powerful message. I need to allow the time for it.We all heard it, enjoy the journey, not only the destination. In this case, frustration reminded me to stay in the moment and ask myself : Is it any steps that I am skipping here? Can I break this task down into smaller, easier steps, that I can successfully do right now? Are there any new skills that I need to learn before tackling this?
