Slow down, you move to fast.
You got to make the moment last. – Simon and Garfunkel
Ten years ago I bought a book entitled Slowing Down to the Speed of Life by Richard Carlson and Joseph Bailey. The fact that it took me ten years to finally read it is a hint about the speed at which I’ve been living. Or perhaps, I really needed to read it this year.
I do know the importance of being fully in the moment, and yet, somehow, I haven’t been living that way. I’ve experienced extended times where my thoughts, beliefs, values and actions are in synch. Like a well oiled machine, everything falls into place, work feels like play, and I feel like I’m living on purpose. Ahhhh, yes…those are the good days. And once you’ve tasted this way of life, it is hard to live without it.
