Wait A Minute!

For so many of us life is very fast-paced. There is so much you want to get done and you never seem to have enough time. So you rush, rush, rush.

But what are you missing? How often do you feel like you are living on a treadmill that never seems to slow down? Or do you feel you've lost your focus, you have not even time to think about anything but what's next?

Hurry! Hurry!

Wait a minute! Really. Practice taking sixty seconds before you rush into the next thing, before you make a decision, before you speak. Sixty seconds. You might find that what you are about to do really doesn't fit with who you are or want to be. And when you take that time to consider what other choices you have, you might come up with an even better way to do things, a better way to express yourself.

All too often we speak before we think what we really want to say. Especially in close relationships it is vital that we think before we speak. What do we really want to say and what is the best way to say it?

Are your responses to others defensive? Aggressive? Do you rush to get your side heard before listening to the other?

Take a minute to think, to listen, to be aware of who you are.

Sixty seconds taken several times a day could just turn your life around. And it can certainly make your world a better place.
