My Uncle Doyle, mom’s younger brother, loved the comic strip Pogo by Walt Kelly. I remember his introducing me to it and reading it as a child. Kelly was a master at condensing a thought into something meaningful.
“Having lost sight of our objectives, we redoubled our efforts.” Pogo
Shall we pause and reflect?
Once I hurried through everything. Even before I learned the Navy SEAL mantra from the firing range—Slow is smooth; smooth is fast—I learned the value of slowing. Focusing on the task and slowing down actually helps me accomplish more. Leaving stress behind.
Perhaps it’s time to stop, look around, recall our objective, and try easy.
