Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast
This expression lives in the military. In training. In making decisions. In acting. Slow down and you’ll get where you want to go faster. Because you avoid all the mistakes along the way from speed. You decide too quickly where to put your money or which house to buy. You decide quickly to get married or get divorced. Take the first job offer out of desperation or anxiety? Or wait for the other offers to come in.
By moving with speed you miss opportunities and critical details. You miss the red flags. You do the math wrong. You draw conclusions. You make unnecessary and unfounded assumptions. You become careless and clumsy.
Take your time. Move slower. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. By taking the time needed, you have all the details and information needed to make a choice. You have seen the warning signs. You checked all the dots. And once you’re there, speed will build up. Momentum is what it’s called.

Thought Provoking Questions : What can you move slower on to gain momentum later?
Daily I write and release a daily meditation. A quick read. Sharing wisdom and asking thought-provoking questions. Influenced by the obstacles, success and failures in my life and of others. Using history, books, current events, philosophy, and ancient wisdom. These writings are actionable, thought-provoking, designed to make your life better.
These writings are not to push a way of thinking on the reader or to force you into a certain philosophy or methodology. Rather to give you practical and real ways to handle life. This is an added tool. My writing is simply a discussion, a discourse, with all the material I read, watch, hear and consume.
