"You're Giving Me a Rush, Rush"

Graduate college by 21, married by 24, baby or 2 by 28 and somewhere in between have a great career making above $50,000 a year. I missed the mark on this imaginary deadline several ties in my life. Some eventful moments I have not even hit yet. However, I am often times out of touch with society's expectations and deadlines that were created for young people, like myself. And now being 28, with no full time career, I'm watching everyone around me hit a lot of these milestones, and I feel so left behind. With this feeling of being left, I'm under a sense of urgency to rush through life just to have the things I want and keep up with everyone else.

Am I playing a dangerous game? YES..... and here is why....

When we rush through life, trying to achieve everything we had planned by a certain time, we often times make wrong decisions. And these wrong decisions are made out of desperation. For every choice we make has a good and bad consequence to it. And your choices don't just affect you. It affects everyone around you. Everything was created to happen for you and with you at its proper timing. You rush it, you mess it up, then everything else is out of alignment. And with knowing that , it forces you to look at the bigger picture.

Here's another part of that picture, rushing through life will not allow you to appreciate the space that you are in right now for your own benefit. You can begin to deviate the process and create an entire future that causes you more chaos than peace. And as you are rushing through life, you are always looking for the next big thing to tackle without showing gratitude and love for the present moment. Yes contentment is still a thing!

It is okay if you have not started a full time job yet, or had kids, or have gotten married or even graduated with any degree yet. In hindsight, we are all ahead and behind one another in some type of capacity. But it shouldn't be a hinder to you. It is a blessing in disguise. For everything is set out for everyone in divine order, and you can choose to stay on that path or switch it up. However, the deadline that has been ingrained in you , should have some grace too. For we never count in the hurdles and the amount of hurdles each one of us will have to jump over in life. And this can always derail your deadline and make you think you need to rush through life.

Life is a journey and journeys can take a long time to get to the right destination in the proper, divine time. No two paths are alike and no matter what, always tell yourself that you are doing great. As long as you wake up the next morning, remind yourself not to rush through the process that is set before you. Give grace where it is due and allow everything to flow accordingly! Trust me, you will thank yourself in the end for being patient, for patience brings abundant blessings!
