Ruthlessly Eliminating Hurry

We tend to hurry through life because we believe our hurriedness leads to greater productivity. But hurrying does not make us more efficient or effective in accomplishing things; nor are efficiency and efficacy what God calls us towards. In fact, hurrying often leads us to hurt people whom we mean to love. Just as Mary rested at Jesus' feet instead of stressing over peripheral details as Martha did, we are called to simply be present and not miss God's presence and movement in our lives.
