Whatever the hell for?

I was talking to my parents about how I'm trying to rush to complete my Masters research and finish it as soon as I can. In fact, I'm already imagining and planning what I'm going to do after. This, in turn, has created a lot of stress on my psyche lately.

In reply, my dad said:

"Just take your time and enjoy your job. Why the rush?"


And I instantly realized, that he was right.

I'm meant to enjoy this journey. What am I pushing and rushing myself for?

Des, I like the way you put it... "Enjoy your ride". It's like a roller coaster ride. Do you enjoy the ride, or keep hoping for it to end?

I guess it's a mindset thing. I started out right, but as the months grew, it became increasingly hard to maintain the correct mindset... argh!

Thanks for the reminder :)
