Walk Slowly

It only takes a reminder to breathe, a moment to be still, and just like that, something in me settles, softens, makes space for imperfection. The harsh voice of judgment drops to a whisper and I remember again that life isn’t a relay race; that we will all cross the finish line; that waking up to life is what we were born for. As many times as I forget, catch myself charging forward without even knowing where I’m going, that many times I can make the choice to stop, to breathe, and be, and walk slowly into the mystery.

“This is the entire essence of life: Who are you? What are you?” So wrote young Leo Tolstoy in his diary of moral developmentBruce Lee (November 27, 1940–July 20, 1973) was around Tolstoy’s age when he turned to this central question of existence more than a century later and approached it with the same subtleness of insight and sincerity of spirit with which he approached all of life.

How the ‘Habit Loop’ Helps You Override Your Existing Routines To Create Better Ones

In his epic book The ONE Thing, Gary Keller talks about the idea that you don’t need willpower as much as you need the ability to build small habits that take you where you want to go. For example, at the beginning of this year I started a diet and exercise campaign that I used to lose over 50lbs so far this year. I started by walking two miles every morning but I didn’t need the willpower to do that, I just needed to form the habit of putting on walking clothes first thing in the morning and not talking them off until after my walk. Makes sense? If not, Gary will explain it better!

Feeling lonely at college (or elsewhere)? Here are 6 tips that may help

John Touhey writes “There are going to be times when you are snubbed, experience rejection, or feel used. This happens to all of us. Being in that situation feels terrible – and it is perfectly reasonable to acknowledge your negative feelings. Try not to let the experience define you, however, or let it ruin your college experience. Remember there is something even more intense than the pain you feel in the moment — and that is the desire that you have to be in relationship with others. The biggest mistake you can make is to get hurt my someone and then decide you don’t really need friends and can go it alone. That is a lie. As beings created in the image and likeness of God, we need human relationships as much as we need food, water, and oxygen. If you were feeling desperately hungry, you wouldn’t stop looking and asking for something to eat until you found it. The same thing applies when looking for friendship. Be persistent and never give up!” Source: Feeling lonely at college? Here are 6 tips that may help
