We’re always in a rush.
Hurry to work. Hurry through the workout. Hurry dinner. Hurry the kids. Hurry the code. Hurry the conversation.
But hurry leaves nothing behind.
There’s a quiet strength in patience—and a strange truth most people miss: Moving slower often gets you there faster.
Shortcuts don’t save time. They create debt.
When you rush, you make mistakes. When you make mistakes, you revisit work that should’ve been done once.
Hurry feels productive. It isn’t.
It creates a lot of wasted motion.
So the next time you feel the urge to sprint through things, don’t.
Slow your breathing. Feel the weight. Finish the rep.
Because the paradox is real:
Hurrying doesn’t make you early.
It makes you late.
