Do you ever have that sense that you are behind? It may be a set of tasks that are incomplete or unfulfilled commitments. We enter into this race that only we have set the standards for, and all the rules are uniquely ours. This is our race, yet all too often, it is one that we penalize ourselves for.
If we are the designer of our race, why would we not favor ourselves, and too often, we don’t? At times it requires us to cease running for ourselves. To notice that the race is not happening without our participation.
It may not be a case of catching up but rather one of slowing down and, with that, an appreciation that our race is one with no competition unless we choose to compete with ourselves.
