Life is like frying up potatoes

I was just slicing up some onion and some boiled potatoes to fry up (yum!). There were a lot of pototatoes and initially I was slicing them nice and thin, so they would get all crispy like I like them.

As I sliced, I started thinking about what I wanted to do today, the slices became larger, and I found myself hurrying to finish faster so I could cook them and get back to my "other stuff" to do today.

What in the h*ll does this have to do with life? Well... I'll tell you my thought process ...

It goes to patience, and taking our time with certain processes. Initially, we are patient and we go slowly into personal growth one step at a time. More things come up that we would like to work on and we start going a little faster assuming that we just need to get it done.

What happens when we do this is we miss out on all the important things that come from taking our time and having patience with the process of getting to know ourselves better.

Of enjoying life because we just hurried through it without taking our time to make things as we want them. We want them too fast, we become impatient, we forget that it's all about what we want and the results thereafter.

Maybe I'm only talking about slicing up potatoes and onions for breakfast, yet if you think about it ... if we don't have patience with ourselves, if we don't recognize that these things can often take some extra TLC and time with ourselves ... then we could end up not having exactly what we really wanted.

Crispy tasty potatoes. :) (Or is it, the life we want to create?)

Thoughts?
