Question: I am not sure why I like to rush things. For example, I like to rush everything from my daily routine like bathing and having dinner to things at work. I often feel very stressful too.

Rushing things is an action that is against the flow. When you feel the rush in you, you are fighting against the flow of the river.

There are a lot of great masters symbolize life as a flow in the river. Anything that is against the flow of life needs energy. Why? Because flowing against the river needs energy. Even a rock at the centre of the river is fighting against the flow to be there, to be still.

You have to understand that life is moving every single day. From the day, a human is born, death is also approaching. I am not saying “do not live because death is nearer everyday” but live as much as possible.

When you are having a dinner, taste it, enjoy your dinner, the taste of sourness, sweetness, bitterness of the food. Enjoy the life, the dinner, as a human being.

While at work, deadlines and schedules will never disappear from your life at work. Why are you rushing? if the particular piece of work approaching deadlines, just stay back for another few hours. Enjoy the work and work is no longer work if you enjoy yourself in it. Love the quietness of the environment that you are in. Most of all, do not force yourself and just flow with the river.
