It's hard to fall in love...
with the process!
When you really think about it, there is nothing in nature that rushes.
Nothing that’s living, organic, divinely created, rushes.
If you look at how a pregnancy unfolds, for example, there is no such thing as a three-month pregnancy. It’s forty weeks. That’s the process. That’s how long it takes for the bones and breath and heartbeat to come together in divine order.
You can’t rush that. You can’t say, “I want my baby in six months” and expect the process to change for you. It just doesn’t work like that.
Life works in processes and patterns and you can’t cheat the time it takes for things to happen.
When you’re rushing, you’re not really rushing toward the thing, you’re rushing toward the feeling you think it will give you.
You’re rushing toward confidence, toward peace, toward safety, toward love.
You’re trying to reach the point where you can finally feel good.
But rushing isn't the answer because it’s powered by lack. It believes that right now isn’t enough, that where you are is somehow wrong, that you should already be somewhere else by now.
And when you live from that place, you spend all your energy measuring how far you are instead of noticing how much you’ve grown. You make the journey something to survive instead of something to experience.
It’s like being in a car, driving somewhere new. When you relax into the drive, follow the speed limit, stay mindful of what’s around you, it’s calm. The journey takes as long as it takes.
But when you start rushing, constantly checking the time, overtaking cars, counting the miles, all you can think about is how far you still are from the destination.
That’s what rushing does. It keeps your eyes on the distance to the destination.
There is an alternative to rushing and it’s not doing nothing.
It’s urgency.
Urgency is about making something a priority. Urgency makes you reorder your schedule, your focus and your habits to reflect what’s most important.
You don’t rush to the end goal, you simply make space for it.
You prioritise it.
The two might look similar on the outside, but the energy behind them is completely different. Rushing comes from fear, while urgency comes from faith, order, trust.
And sometimes, yes, you’ll have things in your life that feel time-sensitive, that feel like they must happen now. But understand that even then, when you rush, you might still get the result, but you’ll lose the fullness of the process.
So if life feels slow right now, don’t fight the timing.
Some things need the full forty weeks.
Trust that what’s meant for you is still forming, perfectly, precisely and right on time.
Until next Sunday,
