The racing spirit

I was leading a fast lifestyle and always rushing to some goals, and now i try to slow down, but feel so hard---------the racing spirit is always there.

I m wondering it is good or bad?
The bible also mentions that we r all in a race.

For me the question was life. Do I feel alive. Am I any less alive if I don't feel it.
I often feel I need to do something to make sure I m a worthy human being,I m not worthless.
I feel guilty if I rest in bed for years because of health issues......and actually i was forced to rest finally because I was worn out.
And now my minds start to race again.......I desire to see a new direction........

I think it's just who you are. Ask your mom if you were racing when you were a toddler -- she will probably laugh and say of course, you never stopped.

Some techniques can slow that down if you want. Look at what's driving you -- if there are anxieties about not having a meaningful life, or catching up with society, meeting others' demands, proving something, wanting to achieve ... then you can take deep breaths and work at being content with yourself.

But if you're always racing out of real restlessness, then find a use for it! Put yourself in situations where your gifts make sense.

If you just like to get ahead, that's not a bad thing! Like you said, health issues can take a toll, so it's survival to be prepared and ahead.

Its people like you that get things done. Embrace it and pray for God to lead you in your race.
