The Danger of Hurrying

Hello - I saw this video clip of John Ortberg, a Christian pastor, author, discussing that in order to be spiritually authentic, one must "ruthlessly eliminate hurry in your life". He explains that this is not the same as being busy - being hurry is more of a state of being. It reminded me a lot of David Allen's saying that the problem isn't having too much to do, it is having too much to do and feeling crappy about it.

This spoke volumes to me. The clip is below. It is about 2-3 minutes long. This is very much from a Christian perspective, so keep that in mind. Enjoy.
