Walk, Don’t Run

We rush to complete tasks in our lives as if there is an end. The beauty is there is no end; therefore, there’s no need to rush. Take your time.

The light at the end of the tunnel extends inward and illuminates what it touches. As you walk closer to that light, you begin to understand it gradually illuminates you instead of immediately engulfing you. We run as if we will have the entirety of the light on us in the next step.

Can you imagine if we saw the light at the end of the tunnel and, in a blink of an eye, we were fully illuminated by its beauty? Would we even fully understand it? One second we are in the dark, and the next, in light. Would we know what to do with it? Would we be able to handle it?

I don’t believe we would understand what to do at the end of the tunnel without the shadows and lessons we walk through on our way there. How would I know how to handle a present situation without the incident in my past?

Think about this: The light at the end of the tunnel is your reflection while walking on your journey.

The light at the end of the tunnel is your light getting brighter as you journey through this tunnel.

Sometimes it helps to know this is a lifelong (sometimes multiple lives) journey. Rushing through this is like having the dream of running down a hall, but after all that work, you seem to be getting nowhere. We try to get so much done at once, and most of the time, we’re not doing what we’re supposed to do. Or we’re not where we’re supposed to be.

So, take your time – walk, don’t run. Yes, I’m gonna say it – Life is a journey, not a destination.
