Guaranteed

There's no reason to rush.  I'm in the midst of being bogged down by tasks and to-dos.  I'm finally taking a moment this week to STOP doing stuff.  It has been a week full of work and tasks.  Even the stuff that seems like it should be a break isn't because I'm thinking of the next thing and trying to get through it.  That's dumb.  Enjoy the thing then do the next thing.  Remember Taher that they are get-to-dos.

There's always something competing for our attention.  Moula never wants us to rush.  There's always something to rush to like a task or a chore so that I can relax.  Again, that's dumb.  In economics terms, there's always an opportunity cost.  Always.  Afterall, the hurry is rushing from something.  Just stop to ask, what am I rushing from?  

There is no guarantee of time.  This is easy to say and easy to understand, but hard to internalize.  A favorite movie of mine has a line that is stuck in my brain.  It is so wise when I think about it.  "No amount of money ever bought a second of time."

Taher, do the thing because there is no guarantee.
