I agree with you that not rushing and not being constantly stressed in our daily activities can help us when keeping a more productive mindset.
If people really want to perceive all the possible options there are to get closer to their goals, being able to appreciate the present is probably the only thing that can really help them, rather than moving around like a robot without any sort of conscience.
Yes, people live so much of their lives off balance, and then can't give things to manifest easily for themselves because of it. If we can move from center, we are all much more wise than we realize.
