“When everything appears to be at a standstill and you don’t always know which direction you are going, take time to reflect on where you have come from and how much effort and hard work it has already taken for you to get there.
“Everybody has times of growth and much activity around them, but this speed of activity can’t last forever. There must come a period of time where standstill is necessary.
“To continue growing with production and activity in one’s life over many years without let up makes for us a life that then has little meaning.
“We tend to lose the basic glamour of life and all it has to offer us. We deny ourselves life’s beauty in its surroundings. Nature is a beautiful thing and with it comes calm and peace of mind.
“It grounds us, which is necessary for our own experience. By its grounding, we are able to recharge our own mental facilities and so are able to be prepared for the next chapter in our lives.
“So when we find ourselves at this standstill and where little achievement is obtained, take this point in your life to see where you can go and what other possibilities are there for you to see accomplished.
“You will find that other doors of opportunity will be there for you. Choices, which were not apparent, are now there.
“So start to see life in a different way, where you have times for active production and personal advancement and those necessary times when all is at a standstill, but not at a loss to you.
“Remember we are not robots and the continuous fight to be productive can be extremely weary to most of us and, if we don’t wish to experience burnout, so it becomes necessary for us to be quiet in our lives and learn to grow in another way.
“Peace comes to those who have the wisdom to notice the difference.”
