Ruthless Elimination of Hurry | Slowing

We need to slow down our lives so that we live them and not skim them. We need to train ourselves to be fully present people, present to God, others and our own souls. 

The more time we spend at this quickened pace, not enjoying our lives, the less enjoyable they become. The more time we treat each day as though we are guaranteed another, the faster they seem to fly by and the more empty, repetitive and routine they feel.

So, today we look at the Teacher's words in Ecclesiastes. He tells us, much like the famed line from the Film Shawshank Redemption, to get busy living because life is unpredictable, and enjoyment is a gift from God. Today's invitation is to Live your life as though every moment has meaning.
