Seeking the limelight often means wanting to be first, a striving to be the fastest, most knowledgeable, most liked. This comes from a sense of deficiency. But there is no need to hurry. Just let things happen at their own pace. Move at the pace of life and don't try and speed things up. Act according to nature.

Speed is not the answer. What doesn't get finished won't get finished. There will be somethings in life left unfinished. Except this and move forward. There is no external urgency, only internally imposed pressure. Relax, try to move at a slower more natural pace.. There is plenty of time for practice. Practice is steady not fast. It is unseemly and hurtful to forge your way into the limelight. Especially when undeserved.

'Our lifetime will end soon enough, there is certainly no rush to bring that eventuality about.' We are not in a race with anyone. Any sense of the need to hurry is a self imposed silly fixation on accomplishment, the ego making itself known.

Hope you have an awesome day!
