It is easy to feel this way in our “Hurry up and wait world.” The kids need this, the husband wants that, the boss says one thing and the doctor stresses another! What are we supposed to do?
I have figured out that animals are brilliant teachers. Do you see them being pulled in a million different directions? No. Animals eat when they are hungry, sleep when they are tired and roam when they want a change of scenery. The prime motivating factor has nothing to do with one species being smarter than another. It has everything to do with one species acting in a way that is “best for its overall well-being.”
An animal only runs when death appears to be imminent. It does not run all day long because it knows, instinctually, that running all day is not healthy. An animal does not eat excessively because it knows that it only needs to eat when hunger calls.
An animal does not let outside stimuli dictate its every breath.
So, on that note, the quote of the day is:
“The fastest way to find relief is to slow down and think.” tc
