Take Your Time
There is a frenzy in the air now, a desperate rushing that has possessed a lot of people. Everywhere I look, people are running toward success and relevance and some imagined finish line that seems to move further away the faster they chase it.
I see it in the Google Drive links that multiply on Twitter every single time, folders stuffed with courses on data analytics, copywriting and graphic design, all downloaded in a panic as though knowledge will spoil if not consumed immediately. People are trying to learn five things at once and mastering none.
This is not wisdom but panic dressed as ambition. The truth that nobody wants to hear is that depth requires time and mastery requires focus. The world will tell you to hurry. It will make you feel like you're already behind.
But listen: Take a breath. You are not required to arrive exhausted. You are allowed to arrive whole, centred, and unfolding in your own season.
All my love,
