As the turtle teaches us…

By Abner abiu Castillo diaz on Unsplash

🐢Slow down,🐢 because time never will,

and one cannot live in the moment if they can never be still.

🐢Be guarded,🐢 but willing to come out of your shell,

for there is life to experience. There are stories to tell.

🐢Patience🐢 is key to life that’s well-guided,

so love with all you have, but don’t be blindsided.

The 🏆best trophy🏆 one can receive is actually one of ‘participation.’

Showing up and being present will be your best life education.

🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

So, when you feel like you’re going at a 🐢turtle’s pace,🐢

remember that life is not a race,

because a destination is merely a place when you become too obsessed with the chase.

Ironically enough, slow and steady ALSO wins the JOURNEY…

And life is a journey, not a race…
