In the daily rush to arrive,
are you sure you’re going
in the right direction?
Work. Family. Community. Scrambling to meet multiple duties and accomplish our goals, from places to be to plans to be made, we’re so often in a hurry. Hearing of the counter-productivity of multitasking on the news, we continue writing that text on our smartphones while mentally noting what we need from the grocery store on the way home.
Much of the time, most of us are so busy doing and going in hopes of arriving, that we don’t stop to consider the direction we’re heading.
Maybe we chose it due to others’ expectations.
Maybe we just ended up heading there because everyone else was.
Whatever the reason, we’re on the move. But wait a minute. Where are we going?
And when we finally arrive, will we look back with bewilderment? Regret? Or a sense of a life well-lived? A life in which, we didn’t aimlessly rush off with the crowd, but had made sure we were headed in the right direction.
