So I have this coworker named Kevin. I've talked to him like a handful of times. But his msn has the message saying slow and steady wins the race. This classic line from that little kids story is so simple, yet it's the truth. I think I used to have that attitude. Slow and steady. The last month or so of my chaotic life I forgot that phrase.
I'm rushing, stopping, rushing, stopping. This applies to many facets of my life right now. And, I think I should stop. I need to learn to be more patient and really believe what I say when I tell myself everything works out in the end.
I was never the rabbit. I was always the turtle.
If I could draw, I would draw a picture of a turtle wearing a rabbit constume. That's what I feel like I've been doing these days. It's not me. I think it's time for me to accept who I am. I should always strive to improve, but I can't change who I am.
The problem is sometimes I don't believe I can be loved for who I am. I know, what a depressing statement huh?
And for those curious, my msn says not giving up.

i don't think it's depressing. i think it's humble and insightful.
i think it's rather obnoxious when people EXPECT to be loved for "who they are" when they aren't that lovable.. i mean, when i take a hard look at myself, i'm quite unlovable... but the amazing thing is that we still are loved. By God, our family, our friends and fellow Christians. =) As someone told me recently and as the Bible says, love covers over a multitude of sins.
