Think of us as a tree in a storm? We bend, but we don't break. Life throws us all at each other, but at the same time it offers us the opportunity to adapt, to grow into something powerful. But do we really give ourselves time? Why do we expect to bloom immediately after the storm?
Let's wait for the moment when we can breathe again!
There is nothing to be gained by rushing.
If we make an effort to breathe deeply, we feel our moment. The world is forcing us to hurry! Now fix yourself! Now be happy! Now! Now! Now!
But life doesn't work on command. Let's think about when we last threw off this armor of time pressures? When did we last say to ourselves: "Okay, today I'll just be."
Everyone breath, every thought that seems infinitely slow is actually our rhythm of renewal. We don't need music, we don't need an audience. Let's just be, who we are. Who you are!
Sometimes it feels like we're looking through a fogged-up glass
We have no idea where we're going, but we know we have to move forward. Let's take a step back. Why don't we take a moment to clean this window?
Let's remember, blurred vision is not our enemy, it's just a reminder, that we need to take a moment for ourselves. The world is not going anywhere. Let's trust that we are on the right path - even if everything seems unclear.
Patience It is not laziness. It is the art of waiting while our roots grow.
Have you ever tried to quickly glue a broken piece of pottery together?
We glue it together easily, but it falls apart at the first touch. It's the same with us. If we pretend we're "okay," we risk the slightest wind breaking us again. Instead, we let it injuries connect naturally. Let's allow ourselves to be scattered, unfinished, asymmetrical.
There's no need to always rush. Sometimes it's enough to just exist. To remember how far we've come.
Think about how often you are gentle with the people around you. Encourage them to take time, tell them it’s okay to be vulnerable. Why not do the same for yourself? Time is not our enemy, it’s an opportunity. Let’s look in the mirror and say to ourselves, “It’s okay if today isn’t going to be a perfect day.”
Growth is not a speed race
It is a subtle piece of music that we build step by step. Being patient with ourselves is not a luxury – it is the key to freedom. Let us allow ourselves to become the master of our own rhythm. Instead of comparing ourselves to others or trying to beat the clock, let us focus on what is real – our progress.
