Everyone wants quick results in today’s fast-paced world. Everyone runs after instant success, instant fame and instant happiness. Everyone is looking for shortcuts. But Osho’s saying, “Never be in a hurry, because all that is beautiful and great takes time,” reminds us that good things take time and the end result is beautiful.
While rushing through meals, conversations, one often forgets to stop and pause towards childhood dreams. One is always in a constant hurry, this saying reminds us to pause and take things slow. The saying is timeless.
What the thought means
That quote reminds one to slow down and trust in the natural process of life that one cannot rush through. Meaningful growth takes time and it is beautiful. The modern life has made everyone lose patience and measure success through speed and comparison. With social media showing success stories, one doesn’t understand that every success has its own journey. And each journey takes time to reach the pinnacle but children, parents and professionals always feel the pressure to climb the ladder of success as soon as possible.
The learning moments bring inner joy and peace but when we rush through things, one misses out on the joy. When one rushes through things, it causes stress, anxiety and dissatisfaction.
Instead of enjoying the journey, one pushes to chase results.
Osho’s saying is a reminder that valuable things in life has its own rhythm. Even when a seed or sapling is sown, it takes time to become a plant or tree. Beauty lies in the trusting the process and greatness is built step by step, not overnight.
