Catching Up vs Chasing

Sometimes It takes a while to catch up. Although I think I’m always in that state. At some point I think becomes more chasing what you want to be rather than catching up from where you were. I think Chasing is better. It propels you forward. Catching up means you still stuck where you were. I’m typically staying somewhere in this dynamic. I’ve felt like I was trying to catch up from being sick, but really I’ve far surpassed what I should have done and am now just chasing where I wish I was.

The danger is making sure you don’t get so focused on where you want to be that you miss out on where you are.

At least that’s my danger.

I’m always looking to be better; a better person, friend, co-worker, sister, daughter, wife. But I have to constantly remind myself that where I am is still good. It’s good to chase. It’s also good to rest.

I’m working on finding my Joy in the rest and hope you take a minute and rest today as well.

I think I might add my breathe poster to the wall today. I made it for this exact reminder, but haven’t put anything on the walls since we moved.
