Why is New Beginnings important for you in Washington?
We live in an era of 'unlimited possibility.' We believe that with enough effort, technology, and sheer willpower, we can accelerate anything. But many of life's most meaningful processes simply refuse to be rushed.
A pregnancy takes nine months, regardless of your level of urgency. A wound requires a set time to heal. Building deep trust takes years.
When we impatiently pull on the grass to make it grow faster, we don't accelerate the process—we just tear the roots. Impatince is often a signal that we lack a fundamental trust in the process of life itself. The art of living is about knowing the difference between what we *can* influence (our daily actions) and what we *must* leave alone (the final results).
Today, experiment with 'Wu Wei'—the ancient wisdom of effortless action. Do your part, and then surrender the rest. When you stop fighting against the natural timing of things, you find a level of calm that pressure simply can't provide.
Research suggests that while impatience triggers a high-alert stress response in the amygdala, practicing acceptance and patience activates the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing your body and mind to repair and regenerate.
The Mechanism
Impatience and the 'hurry' response are associated with high amygdala activation and sympathetic nervous system dominance (fight-or-flight). Practicing patience and 'letting be' engages the vagus nerve and the parasympathetic system, which lowers heart rate and blood pressure, promoting a state of 'calm readiness.'

- RELEASE THE REINS Identify one area where you’ve been pushing too hard for an answer or a result. Consciously decide to step back and let it be for today.
- RESPECT THE RIPENING Remind yourself that quality requires time. Like a fine wine or a deep skill, some things are only valuable because they weren't rushed.
- ENJOY THE MIDDLE Stop staring at the finish line for a moment. Find one small thing to appreciate about the slow, daily process of where you are right now.
