I do not understand: The Rush.

Have you ever achieved a goal and realized despite the greatness of your success still is this urge for more? It doesn't quite go unnoticed that as a people we always strive for the next thing. Between life choices, relationships, and career we continue to yearn for something better while taking advantage of what we have. Intentions are disregarded as it seems to be in our nature. Do we just want what we can't have?



Transitions have happened. Into a world with more entrepreneurs , more people making decisions to obtain the unobtainable precedence set above us in society. Young people are reaching the success that we are told takes years to acquire. Finally the realization that people are capable of all things. We have the power to see it , think about it, and achieve it. This is a magnificent thing. Where does it end? There will always be something new to learn, adapt to, or achieve. People forget to stop and breathe. To realize what is in front of you and just coast towards the next thing. Instead people may run past the present into the future. This is also forgotten in matters of the heart. 



It is as if the mystery of things you do not know spark interest and curiosity. People focus on all the things they lack. While the things they have become of no interest. Regardless of the community blocking us from what carries worth. With this thrive for more of anything comes forgetting what is here, now leading into a hole through time where we lose out on relationships,memories, knowledge, or lessons. The hard part is finding the balance between the two. When you aim for success, why is it a bad thing? It absolutely is not. At Least not in my opinion. The off balance comes from getting too tranced you lose where you are meant to be going. There is great strength in hustling, working hard for what or who you want. There should be this line though even when it is often hard to navigate.



 Even when remaining balanced for so long, sometimes the inevitable thoughts creep back up. Why is it that humans seem to carry this trait that β€œit” is never enough? Moreover, this rushing instinct; we all carry.  With a lot of focus on this and practice one could definitely relearn their way of thinking to alter this mindset. It is easier said than done. I have found when stopping to appreciate the air I breathe , water I drink, and feet that carry me I wash away all the self taught beliefs that I am not yet where I need to be. Trusting that life does have a plan, when you genuinely believe that all things will come your way they start flowing in naturally. This does not go without the balance of dedication. For now, appreciate all the littlest things while they are in front of you for soon they will be gone. Fight for your loved ones so you don't look back at what relationships have drifted. Go to war for your goals with an utmost humbled demeanor. Even when you're looking at a brick wall there will soon be something to come causing them all to fall. Revealing your next chapter so you gradually can turn the page rather than speed read through your own story. It is ever so intriguing to realize that we may never understand this tendency we have to hurry. We can only accept that we don't understand, acknowledge it, and then adjust.
