Words of Wisdom: The September Rush
"Beware the barrenness of a busy life."
— Socrates
"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished."
— Lao Tzu
"Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save."
— Will Rogers
"The time to relax is when you don't have time for it."
— Sydney J. Harris
Ancient and modern wisdom agree: rushing through life misses the point of living.
The irony: we rush to "get ahead"—but ahead of what? Time passes the same for everyone. What we lose in the rush—presence, peace, connection—we never recover.
Your reminder:
Amid the September rush, pause to ask: What am I rushing toward? And is it worth what I'm missing along the way?
