InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
December 3, 2025
The Pathway to Integrated Living
— Daily reminders for a conscious, connected life —
Look around you right now. How many people are rushing—through the grocery line, through traffic, through their own thoughts? And here's the real question: are they actually getting anywhere faster, or are they just burning more fuel? What if the antidote to our overscheduled lives isn't finding more time, but changing our relationship with the time we have?
The focus for today is:
I have the time to get everything done that I need to get done. Everything always works out when I don't rush.
Today's message is inspired by Jon Gordon, M.A., author of the book: Energy Addict: 101 Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Ways to Energize Your Life
Jon discovered from his wife what research confirms: rushing doesn't actually make us more productive. It just creates more mistakes, more stress, and more energy drain. Life really isn't a race—and if it were, would you want to win? That would just mean going through life faster than everyone else, enjoying less, seeing less, doing less. When you cruise instead of rush, you still get things done, but without the panic and stress.

We are overstressed, overworked and overtired. The days are getting shorter while our to-do lists are getting longer. The pace of life gets faster and the demands increase. We attempt to fight back with caffeinated drinks and candy bars hoping to get it all done before we crash. This is false energy… but Jon Gordon gives us the real thing. Practical, common-sense, sometimes counterintuitive, Jon Gordon shows how we can become addicted to positive energy and habits, making small changes in our lives that will produce big results.
