Three Reasons Why You Should Not Rush in Life

     Many people rush through life without even realizing.  There is so much more to life than trying to meet a deadline.  We need to be reminded from time to time the reasons why stopping to take a breath is so important.  There is much to appreciate.  Here are three reasons why you should not rush in life.
1. Life Is More Rewarding
     We can seldom predict what life will throw at us despite our best efforts to do so.  Planning helps but life has a tendency to jerk us in multiple directions anyway.  People should plan, but nobody should try to rush through life expecting their desired outcome to become reality.  In fact, it would be better to let nature take its course and allow certain aspects to ensue naturally.  Some of the most rewarding occurrences transpire when least expected.  Relationships, for example, are something that people stress over for the fear of being alone.  Some of these people end up trying to force relationships to happen but very seldom does that workout.  Usually, the best relationships begin and flourish from a natural and/or unforeseen occurrence.  The point is, life is less stressful and more fun when people begin to relax, stop trying to plan everything, and stop trying to rush through life in the hopes of their expectations coming true.  A life off its leash tends to provide you with what you need rather than what you want.
2. Remembrance
     When we rush, we forget.  When we forget, we miss out.  One of the biggest regrets people have is being too caught up in the past or future, never the present.  Life goes by quickly, and if we are not present in the moment, then it will likely pass us by.  Ask yourself, would you rather rush through life trying to shape the future or make memories?  Memories are what we strive for, after all.  We want to be able to remember the good times had with our family, friends, and ourselves.  So, every now and then take a moment to be in the moment.  You will thank yourself in the future when reminiscing on good times had.
3. Aids in Releasing Unnecessary Stress
Rushing causes stress which has a track record of consistently inhibiting life performance.  We essentially cripple ourselves by overworking our minds and bodies, sacrificing quality for the sake of getting things done.  The truth is, rushing is a choice, not an absolute.  We have the ability to take our time, plan accordingly, and succeed at a later date.  The problem is people often believe they need to rush in order to succeed in certain situations.  We often expect to reach success faster as a result, but that does not usually happen.  Instead, we get overworked and slow down, feeling disappointed in ourselves because we essentially gave up.  We then repeat the process in a never-ending cycle.  This is both stressful and unnecessary.  We can succeed without having to rush.  In fact, it is not only beneficial for our health to take our time, but it also means we will be more focused on the quality of our success.  Overall, do yourself a favor and relax, stop worrying, and take your time.

The Importance of Giving PT.2 - the Dos and Don'Ts

     Should we expect to be praised for our deeds or to receive nothing in return?  Does ego play a role in generosity or is humbleness a necessary mindset?  A year ago, we talked about the importance of giving and how beneficial it is to both the giver and the receiver (Link here if interested:  https://scanlonblogs.blogspot.com/2018/11/blog-8-giving.html ).  We also talked about how happiness comes from giving and helping others and how material wealth only goes so far.  What we did not discuss is what we should anticipate and the proper way to behave throughout the process.  The art of giving involves understanding the dos and don'ts based on the situation at hand.  Not every instance of generosity will include the same factors as the previous one.      Do you believe kindness should be met with a reward?  I personally believe it depends on the situation, but we should never expect to be rewarded.  If you give money to a homeless man, your act of kindness may not lead to anyt

Money Isn’t Everything      Wouldn’t it be nice if tomorrow, you won the lottery?   The sheer joy you’d feel would probably be something you’ve never experienced before.   What would you do with the money: buy a house, go on an exotic vacation, quit your job?   When this type of pleasure flows over you, the possibilities feel endless.   No matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a while.   Eventually, you would want something more than just financial freedom.   Having money is great, but what are you going to do with your money and newly acquired spare time?      We need

The Meaning of Thanksgiving - a Few Words to Remember

     Tonight's blog will be shorter than usual due to Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to leave you guys with a few things to remember.  Thanksgiving, or any holiday for that matter, is about family, friends, and making memories, wouldn't you agree?  Personally, I love being able to see my extended family, even if it's for a short while.  The holiday season is, to some, the only time they are able to get together with family and enjoy their company.  Sometimes we need to be reminded of this, so we remember to enjoy the time spent together.  Even if you do not get along with some of your family members, times like these are perfect for making amends if possible.  Do you have any memories like this?  If so, I would love to hear them in the comments.  Overall, remember that Thanksgiving is more than just about eating but sharing a moment with those you love.  Happy Thanksgiving everybody and I hope your day is filled with food, family, and memories. 📖  Be sure to add S
