Day 99 / 108 Challenge

#99

"I bow for a mind that is enlightened and peaceful."

One of the most interesting thoughts I had today was that I wish I had more time. I know I should not rush things, but I have so many things I want to achieve. Some would think that I should have learned to take things slow, one thing at a time, but I cannot escape from these thoughts and pressures.

I have a fear that time is running out, and I am not optimizing how I spend my time in the most productive way. It is not like I am not doing nothing. It is just that I feel pressured to spend my time in the most efficient way possible. And a lot of times I get stressed for no valid reasons. I think I am discovering answers to my issues as I write my thoughts out, though.

Instead of stressing too much about optimizing, I think it is better for me to focus on setting out a plan and sticking to it. And enjoy my self-growth journey.

Also, if I prioritize, meaning, if I find an answer to "What is going to yield me the most result at this given time?" I should focus on those items, and put aside other aspirations as they become mere distractions.
