Perhaps the sensation you are experiencing is due to being caught up in a ruthless, all-encompassing rushed lifestyle in which your virtually manipulated world encourages you to live at an accelerated pace to keep your life on track.
Whether you are a workaholic, extreme gamer, or one of those obsessive-compulsive people who take on extra tasks, ask yourself why it's essential to be a part of the herd mentality that has gripped our modern world for so long. Why follow in the footsteps of those harried, stressed, and detrimental people who set the rest of humanity's pace?
Perhaps it is because our subconscious minds have been subtly conditioned to force us to believe that this rushed lifestyle is the only acceptable route to our ultimate success. Or maybe we are afraid to consider being anything different for fear of criticism and ridicule? How about the fear of change? It's just so much easier to fit in with a group when you accept your life's mindless pattern without question.
In our quest for material wealth and status, we have lost sight of the real reason for our existence. We have become embroiled in the rush and bustle of daily life. We focus on accumulating worldly possessions and experiences, which we have been led to believe are of real value. Indeed, material wealth can bring physical comfort and a sense of well-being. However, it can never replace the inner peace and calm of the human mind and soul that only comes through an intimate knowledge of God through Jesus.
So how do you escape this demeaning and often brutal vortex that has the power to rob you of your integrity, uniqueness, health, and vitality?
Stop for a moment! Realize you are a God's handiwork, and as such, you were created for more incredible things than the mindless, daily grind in which you find yourself. During the creation of the world and humankind, God didn't rush to complete His work in a single day. He spent six days putting His great plan together. At the end of every day, God took time to view what He had made, and He "saw that it was good".
