Image via WikipediaInspired by one of Brother Bo Sanchez's talk about living in the "now", I would like to share this No Rush list to you and to everybody who is tired of the "Marathon of Life".
Every waking morning, everybody would rush to go to work. I take the feeder bus that will bring me to Ibn Batuta metro station. I will see people running towards the bus and make themselves fit in. The bus driver even have the difficulty of closing the bus doors because people are blocking the doorway. Then people will run up inside the metro station to catch the next train. They sprint up the escalators or even the stairs. This scene always makes me wonder "why are we always in a hurry?". We sometimes let time pass us by easily. How can we enjoy the ride if we are all moving in the fastest pace always? Below is a list suggested by Bo Sanchez on how we can live in the "now" and not hurrying:
1. Deliberately drive in the slowest lane in the express way... And bless each car that pass you or cut in your way...
2. Deliberately park at the farthest spot in the parking lot...and enjoy the long walk to the door..
3. Deliberately choose the longest line in the grocery...and pray for all the people infront of you...
4. Deliberately chew your food slowly...enjoy and savor the taste and thank God for your food...
5. Deliberately put people before things always...and build lasting relationships...
6. Deliberately take time to enjoy God's presence alone...and not worry about anything...
7. Deliberately stop watching TV...but rather read a good book, talk to people, pray to God...
8. Deliberately take a lot of vacations...and enjoy people...
My own #9. Deliberately go to work in a relax mode, why not leave home early so you reach work early. Eliminating your need to run and perform the marathon every morning.
We only have one life to live, so savor every moment of it!
