why are you rushing life?

realised i was trying to rush my progress the past few weeks and decided to stay in a cabin in the middle of nowhere and reflect on life... didn't expect to meet this beautiful soul, Pak Karna who owns the airbnb. And we had a long chat about life... he shared with me about his life, how he won best web designer awards and how he started his family in the US... but a question popped up in his head one day : 'is this really what i want?' he told me he was chasing and chasing and chasing that he forgot to observe his life. Of course i didn't understand what he meant... he shared with me that at the end of the day, you are the creator of your own life. You came here with nothing, got plugged into a system and you think that's all there is to life. But is it? Is there really a structure that you have to follow? Why do you have to be successful? Why do you want to be successful? You achieve something but straight away find another goal to work towards. Why? Man asked me so many questions that I didn't have the answer to... And at the end of the day, I don't think I'll find the answer anytime soon but he told me something that changed my perspective. 'stop thinking, start observing. You need to be still for god to speak to you.'
