I Didn’t Have a Moment to Catch My Breath

Are you stressed? Are you so busy getting to the future that the present is reduced to a means of getting there? Stress is caused by being “ here” but wanting to be “there,” or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It’s a split that tears you apart inside. To create and live with such an inner split is insane. The fact that everybody else is doing it doesn’t make it any less insane.
