Never Rush Over

This week I had a learning experience that seems stupid but believe it or not, I took something away from it. On Monday I had to go up to Murray to do some personal business. However, my wife had to use the car that day so I decided to ride the front runner. I wanted to be in time for the train so I left home early (Which is a couple of blocks away from the Provo station). I bought my ticket and got onboard. When I was in my sit waiting for the train to leave I realized I had not brought my cellphone.

How was I supposed to meet my contact once I arrive in Murray? Well I had to rush to my house to get my phone and see if I could run back to still catch the train. As you may have guessed, I did not make it and missed the train. In addition, when I look for my boarding ticket I could not find it ! ! what I bad luck, I was gonna be late for my meeting and I had to pay twice for my ride. Nevertheless, I took a deep breath and relax for a minute. I enjoyed the view and the moment. I looked at my wallet and somehow I had placed the ticket inside it. For some reason I did not remember doing it at all. But there it was, my ticket.

I learned that rushing things over not always end well. There is a time for everything and we have to stop in life once in awhile and ask ourselves where are we heading and if we have our "phones" with us. We have to take a minute to remember where we have placed that ticket that will take us to our destination. Not everything has to be done rapidly. We have to enjoy the moment.

From now on I will try to take my time to ponder and plan for those special things in my life. In that way I will make sure I do not lose the important things to me.
