Overcoming Life’s Distractions

Rachael PowellBlog, Ladies

Sometimes life is just outright overwhelming in so many areas, and for each and everyone of us. To a Dad trying to make ends meet and provide for his family, to a mom in all her efforts to make her home “perfect” and to our kids trying to fit in and feel accepted with their peers.

Life was meant to be more than the daily humdrum. It was supposed to be enjoyable, full of purpose, not just stress and worry. So where has all our satisfaction gone? Where is the pleasure, the joy?   There is a cost to a hurried life sans rest stops. And there is a richness to a more deliberate pace.

When we slow down, we do better, we are more creative work, we become better stewards of the relationships in our lives and we become grateful for the small things in life.

So slow down.  Savor every last bit of each experience.

Live with greater intentionality

Have better focus

And develop deeper relationships
