THE PRICE OF OUR FAST LIVING

We are living a life of extremes:

• We drive over the speed limit
• We spend beyond our incomes
• Our TVs fill us with extremes
• We live in loud, surround sound
  

The price of our fast living is very high

• Stress is everywhere with everyone
• Our rushed kids have attention deficits
• The cars we drive kill and maim thousands
• We are in overdrive because we overspend
  

High pace kills; Moderation pays

• Fast pace leads to bad friends; slow pace leads to good ones
• High speed kills; low speed is much safer
• Our dress shows the real us: moderate or extreme
• Kindly words encourage: coarse words turn folks off
• Extremes are exhausting: moderation takes little effort
  

We know we are going too fast

• There is a new interest in meditation
• Walking trails are becoming popular
• We are dressing down
• Fitness is starting to replace anxiety pills
• We find some peace in our favorite pods
• Our spirituality is becoming important again
  

What we can do:

• We can slow ourselves down, if not our world
• We can slow our family down and take a breath
• We can even take time to smell the flowers
  

Can your family slow down and meet this FAMILY CHALLENGE?
