Why Do You Hurry So?

When we rush a process, it will simply fall apart.

Why Do You Hurry So?
Word Press

We all have dreams that we wish would come true.

We all have desires that we crave with every beat of our heart.

We all have millions of ideas in our head, waiting to be created.

Yet more often than not, they never become anything but false dreams and false hopes.

These ideas, desires, and dreams never enter the physical world.

So comes the question: do we really want this?!

Is it futile to even think of it?

Why want something so bad that you would never do anything to make it true?

We need to start making steps to get what we want.

No matter how long the process is, you have to continue on. There is no need to rush, nor is there need to move at a staggering pace.

I know this next sentence must sound contradicting, however, it may help someone who is going after something they have waited so long to do, yet finds themselves at standstill. This person might find themselves frozen unable to move after going for what they want. This person may have started changing their lives for the better. They are finally going after what they want, yet at the same time they are rushing it; they have crossed the bridge without sparing a second glance at anything else.

Because of this, they are faced with many realities; in front of them is what they want yet they are unable to turn the knob.

My advice for those who have their desires and are making them a reality a warning for you and an advice...

We simply must not rush things to happen. Yes, you may have waited many years for it to occur, however, things must never be rushed--it should go at its own pace.

What happens when we rush?

We miss things; the small details that could bring everything together. The signs in which would help guide us.

When we rush we forget things, we dive into something that we have longed for however we are unprepared for it. When you skip steps to create, your creation will not last long, it will quickly crumble. How will you get help when you don't know how to retrace your steps? You are frozen in the situation you have created for yourself.

The reason why we take these cautionary steps is to solidfiy our future, to prepare ourselves for what is to come and for what we want. For when we finally reach our destination, we will be prepared for whatever unknown we face.

I may or may not know how bad of yearning you have, however, I can tell you this: we do not wish to see you fall, we do not wish to see you stuck with fear. We want you to grow, we want you get everything that this world has to offer. But be still because time is what we have. Our time is not granted for long; the great next adventure will claim us some sooner than later. However, you must live every second of the day, do not rush things because there is no time. So enjoy what time you do have.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
