Racing through life is very stressful.
If we stay in high gear too long,
We lose our ability to shift down.

And when we're stressed, we
Can't access happiness, appreciation, fun,
Compassion, generosity, awareness of beauty and
Other wonderful qualities. High stress also
Triggers negative emotions like frustration,
Impatience, anger and fear.

Life has so much to offer if we will slow down
And truly experience it. We must always remember
 That we are the ones in control of the
Accelerator. We CAN choose to brake.

"Slow down and enjoy life.
It's not only the scenery you miss by
Going too fast -- you also miss the sense
Of where you are going and why."
