Where Does Rushing Get You?

Absolutely nowhere fast! :-/

Sorry to be Debbie Downer but it's so true. You just cant rush things. No matter what it is. You cant rush success, education, love, getting to know someone, or even getting to know yourself. Ive learned that even when you think you can beat this rule and your rushing is going great, you always end up missing something you would have normally saw if you had taken your time. The only time I ever really slack on this rule is in relationships. Im good for ignoring speed limits and bumps of the heart. But Im gettin better though!!

Ive learned that things always start out good. I mean why wouldnt they? Things are new and fresh and theres so much like in the air, how could they go wrong? People tend to be on their best behavior when they are in "impress you" mode. This can also be called "get what they want" mode. Depends on the maturity of the person. They throw good things at you so fast you dont have a time to sit and really think about the decisions you are making... if you're in a rush. You cant judge a trip by how it begins. Flat tires normally dont happen til you're like halfway there. :-)

Bein in a rush always means youre gonna miss the signs. This will always send you in the wrong direction and leave you goin in circles trying to get back on the right route. But like downtown, once you miss a turn. Thats it. You might as well plan to go somewhere else or take your butt home. (shout out to nisha! lol) You cant go back the same way you came. Taking your time would have allowed you to see all the signs you needed in order to get where you really belonged. And this might not always be where you thought you were going.

You cant possibly really get to know someone in a rush. When things are going really fast in a short amount of time, you dont get to experience the person in certain situations. You will most likely never witness someone being angry, sad, or stressed early on, which is a major deal breaker if you dont like who they become during these times. Some people have character traits you might not be able to deal with and you wont know unless you take the time to experience them in all forms.

So take the time to learn who you're dealing with and learn who you are at the same time. you dont know what you like and dislike if you dont even know yourself. Rushing a situation can make you believe it's way more than what it is. So once you slow down, you'll realize it's not as bad as it seems. Sometimes you will have to reroute and change your destination so gas up, get your playlist together, and make sure you stop to smell the flowers. :-)
