Cart, Car or Jet

Acceptance of self is the most powerful tool for inner peace and happiness.  Driving, pushing, demanding more of your self is only a road to disruption, frustration and upset.While in India it was related to me by the teacher Archarya a metaphor for accepting ourselves that I found useful for me.He said that on the path to enlightenment we may be a bullock cart, a car, or a jet.  Each one of us needs to accept our pace of development.  The view from the cart is no better or worse than the jet, just different.When I picture the bullock cart, and see the driver beating the oxen to try to go faster it just seems violent, unfair, and wrong.Where in your life are you beating your oxen to try to go faster?  What would happen if you sat back a little more and enjoyed the relaxing pace and the peaceful view from the seat?
