It's not in the hurrying, not in the hyper-efficiency that we find our greatest value. In fact, it often shows up in ways so contrary to this mode -- instead, in patience, stillness, peace. It takes tremendous strength to choose to be still when the world is racing around you. Those choices bring health and stamina. Those choices bring wisdom and power. There's room to discern, instead of just react. There's space to question whether our steps are in alignment with our vision - whether we're acting with integrity - before we get too far ahead.
So, when you see the world racing, celebrate the opportunity to choose otherwise. Celebrate the choice to separate your self worth from your productivity. In stillness, you'll find power. In stillness, you'll see - the actions themselves no longer have to be worshiped or attributed undue importance. You can act intentionally without wrapping your self worth within those acts.
