The Unexpected Secret to Reaching Your Goals: Slow Down!

The quickest way to success starts with being slow, You are filled with passion; you are eager to achieve your goals and you have a lot of ideas about what to do. What you don’t have is the time and patience to do what needs to be done. You want to grow fast and live your dreams as soon as possible. Being impatience about getting where you want to go makes you hurry up, think of the fastest ways to achieve big goals, and look for shortcuts. In the short run, you may gain some positive results and feel good about it but as you go along, the reality starts to kick in and the pain of failure after failure keeps discouraging you from going forward. In the beginning, you move fast but sooner than later you slow down to a halt. Therefor, the beginning of every long and worthy journey is slow, tedious, and time-consuming but essential. If you take your time for good preparation and work on the fundamentals, you can build your success on it. As you go along, gradually you speed up and become faster and faster toward your goals. It is better to start slowly and gradually speed up than start fast and keep falling. Work hard and fast but grow slowly. This is how you go long.
