rush (noun):

- a rapid, impetuous, or violent onward movement
- a hurried state, as from the pressure of affairs
- a sudden attack; an onslaught
- a sudden, brief exhilaration
- surging emotion

Embrace the rush. Accept onward movement with grace, counter the pressure of affairs with patience, and face the onslaught with strength and competence and courage. Exhilaration and emotion are there for those who keep their sense of wonder at the patterns of miracle that surround us.
Most of all: pay attention.
