A fast life and a fast faith

We live in a world where everything is: go, go go! and Busy, busy, busy.

We want to know all of the shortcuts. We have to save time and money, after all.

We want it all.

We want to do it all. 

We even live with the perception that we are happier and more fulfilled by the more we have and the more we do. But, are we? Or are we just so accustomed to living in this manner we cannot imagine a life outside of that where we are fulfilled constantly and have a peace and joy that carries us through every storm? 

We are tired because we want it all and we try to do it all. We are burned out. We don't have time for the things that really matter. We are just going through the motions. Maybe it's because we think people will look down on us if we do not. 

It's bad enough that we look for shortcuts through life because we know we need a break somewhere. We also look for something which will get us there fast, wherever 'there' is.
