Don't be so fast, just slow down

Don’t be so fast, just slow down

To pace with the competition in today’s world of digital civilization, we would like to run, but not walk. We want to be fast in all sphere of life so that another person cannot snatch our share of success. It is altogether a wrong concept of ideal living. If you like to achieve a full-scale success, you have not only to slow down your pace, but also to show enough receptivity to others.  If people around you are happy with you, they will ensure that you get success in all your endeavors.  If you maintain the same principle of working attitude and behavioral pattern, the society will nominate you like the best performer initially in the locality, then to the state, state to the country and then country to the international. 

In today’s fast life, and in the age of technological advancement, if we live as per God’s will in a humble way, even unto death, God’s door will always be opened for your assistance in this life, and also in rebirth. If you believe in the theory of incarnation and reincarnation, your rebirth will be there, but how much sufferings you have to undergo here, and then in your rebirth that all depends on God’s mercy.  If God promises something to you in the midst of your prayer, which you will be able to perceive once you lead a humble life in line with God’s wishes.

Remember, in all your endeavors, God is with you.  Then why to run always, and keep yourself on the toe? He never breaks his promises.  It’s you only disobey His advice and then put yourself in the problem.  The only fastness will not yield success in your life; you must carry out your duties with total conviction and faith. When God provides you any promise to walk with Him on life’s journey, you have to understand the inkling. For that, you must enlighten your mind and soul.  Each of us gets a unique invitation from God; it is not the same for everybody. We are born here not do what we like. We must own the responsibilities entrusted to us with a pang of sufferings. 

If you keep faith on God’s omniscience, that is fine, but that does not mean that you will be able to forecast everything in advance what is going to happen to you and when.  You can only hope that God is with you, He will not let you face the perils always.  He gives odd and good things simultaneously to test your patience. Whatever sorrow you face, He will transform the same in His perfect time. God makes these types of promises to only a handful people, who accept Him as their savior. People who acknowledge God as their savior, their lives are much happier than the others, who do not have any reverence for His existence.  One promise Jesus gave to the weary travelers removes all their tiredness.  Jesus said, “Come to me, you who are heavily burdened and I will give you rest, for my yoke is not heavy.”  Life is full of challenges.  We always face a new challenge.  At some point in time, we will be burdened and will be prepared to let go and give up many of the challenges.  When we do these accepting a  few challenges, it can open a new path in our life.  Sometimes, you may feel that you will be able to shoulder more responsibilities may be professionally or socially, but while expressing this feeling, you should never think that what would happen, if you cannot discharge the responsibilities properly. That will develop a negative feeling and will eclipse your positive energy. Jesus gave a sermon for all those people in the form of His promises.  When we are in two minds before we discharge any responsibility, there will be a state of ‘nothingness’ in our lives and then turn to Jesus, He will give you water from the fountains that springs from His heart and reduces our nothingness to positivity. 

We all like to have a peaceful death.  Then why do we run so fast throughout our lives?  To do work in the right spirit and direction is laudable, but for that matter, a constant moderate speed of life is more than sufficient.  Unnecessarily, throughout our lives, we run like a mad dog to accomplish various feats.  In the end, we achieve some because to achieve in totality is next to impossible.

Why maintain this fast speed?  Just slow down and take God as your companion in all your endeavors.  He will ensure that you get the best. In this way, you would get many opportunities in the disguise of His promises.  But we can get these opportunities provided we take and respect God’s promises sincerely.  In a way, God prepares us for that great experience.  It should be the mission in your life to accept God’s promises as your own. We may not be able to help each and every people in this world, but we can touch the lives of a few people with hearts overflowing with kindness and love.  If we can do that, it would be a “messenger” of God.  There is no need for the message to be big or small, because, through the power of breeze, it would reach the masses for their benefit. Just live a normal life remembering Him all the time with a moderate speed.
