Speed vs Calm

Some things benefit from speed… Competitive environments where everyone’s rushing hastily toward a singular goal in a zero-sum game.

But most things benefit from calm. Environments where you’re not competing with the world, but building methodically toward a specific goal, alongside people who chose to go to that same destination, in the same timing.

One only works in short bursts, is exhausting, and may be a byproduct of a bigger problem that may hold you back from your best work.

The other works long-term, is enjoyable, compliments your life, and may be a precursor to something brilliant.

It’s a choice. You get to choose.
