This is a really good post. I totally relate. I have been my harshest critic. I have a lot of goals and I have always pushed really hard to reach them but have come down on myself heavily if I missed a step or didn't do what I thought I could or didn't do it in the time that I set for myself. I think for me, the constant since of urgency has a lot to do with me measuring time. Losing a bunch of loved ones in the past few years has really amped up my need to achieve more than it was before and I have found myself burnt out in the process. I realized that I can't beat time anyway. It is constantly moving. What I can do is slow down to savor the moments of now and achieve whatever as best I can and not sweat it if I don't. I have learned to really listen to my sixth sense and just roll with my plans and even if the plans don't work. I figure, that's just my journey. We often find our best results in situations we did not plan for.
