The older I get, the more I realise being in a hurry is a terrible way to live your life.

When you're in a hurry: • you miss opportunities • there's never enough time • people consider you "rushed" But When you're patient and live in the moment: • you notice things • you're more meaningful with your life • people appreciate your care • life's more beautiful

Ironically, sometimes slowing down speeds things up.

i’ve learned this too. rushing only makes you anxious, not successful. the best things always take longer than you think and that’s okay.

yes but in a modern society you cannot do otherwise

You realize that you’re never in the present, experiencing only half of every given moment

This will subtract more years from your life than any other bad habit. You can eat clean, work out, not smoke or drink alcohol and still you’ll die younger than your peers if you don’t respect that one thing. People really need to unstress their lives.

I've noticed the same thing where rushing just burns you out without getting you anywhere better. Slowing down actually lets you see what matters instead of just blowing past everything.

People like to act busy. But being busy doesn’t mean your time is valuable or that you’re important. It simply shows a misplaced value system and a lack of time management.

There’s a culture of busyness right now. Everyone is trying to out busy the next person.

Life happens in between the big memorable moments. We tend to forget that the mundane present is where we spend 99% of our time. Best not forget it or we’ll rush past life forgetting to actually live it

Actually, slowing down isn’t always better, sometimes urgency sparks creativity and clarity. Could it be that pacing wisely, rather than just slowing, is the real key to a fulfilling life?

life feels softer when you stop chasing moments and start living them.

Urgency is often just fear in disguise. When I stopped racing time, life started feeling fuller, not smaller.

Slowing down is the ultimate paradox - more gets done.

Peace comes when you stop rushing. Slow down. Life isn’t a race.

Replying to @ItsKieranDrew
Pace is addictive, moving fast and executing by firing from the hip is exhilarating when it works. The thing is you can't get lucky forever

Wisdom comes from experience, and experience teaches you that the slow path is often the fastest route to what actually matters. Quality over speed, always.

Everything ends up being lower quality when you're in a rush. Even just trying to do something 1% faster usually leads to a ~10% quality slip. Now I try to do everything slowly and intentionally. Especially reading and interacting on X. Most people just scroll through quickly and in a hurry which bleeds through to the rest of the things they do.

You're seen to be rushed when you are in a hurry. By slowing down, you notice the simplest things. You're aware of your environment and you approach everything with a calm mind which invariably births better productivity.

It is, but sometimes there is no other option. When you're in a hurry all the time however, you should make sure you keep your cortisol under control.

Replying to @ItsKieranDrew
True. If you’re in a hurry, it usually means you made a mistake earlier, in planning, priorities, or patience. Speed without clarity just multiplies errors.

How can you enjoy life when you don't even take a minute to enjoy it?

Rushing makes you miss the point of everything you’re chasing.

enjoying the journey is as important as achieving the goal itself!

Speed compounds. Hurry burns runway. My rule from startups: ship tiny, single thread, leave buffer. If I need adrenaline to hit a date I cut scope. If it happens twice I fix the system. Calm cadence beats frantic sprints over a decade.

100%. That's why I left DFW. Everyone was in a hurry to the point it made life miserable. Moved to a place where people are more kind and community oriented. God told me it's time to slow down and see the world for how beautiful it is.

People who start a business do it for cashflow, but it takes longer than you expect.
