Puritan Board Senior
As I continue to mature in life, I see more and more a connection between the busyness of life and the lack of wisdom that brings. When I'm hurrying to accomplish things, when I have many tasks before me, when I have much talking to do, and it has to happen quickly, and many other things that are common to the busyness of the average American life, I find that I so often lack the wisdom that I should have.
If I had the time to really think through what I was about to say, it would come out better and be more refined. But rather, I say something, then think back on what I said, and regret that I did not say it better. It even happens on this board. Sometimes I'll say something to express my mind, with little time to really reflect on and meditate on what I am saying, and when I eventually come back to rereading what I originally posted, I see how I would have worded things differently if I had more time.
For me, this way of life that is always rushed and leading to a lack of wisdom, is something I really think I should consider changing. Even for the sake of godliness alone, I feel as if I need a slower pace of life, where I can exercise great wisdom in all areas of life, where I am not making spur-of-the-moment decisions, where I do not have enough time to think through things clearly, etc. I just don't think life was designed to be this way.
Can anyone relate?
