Dear readers (and especially Donna), slow and steady wins the race

Was asked yesterday why the cryptic nature of some posts?

This created a moment of pause and reflection. You know the kind.

When mystery is intentional, it is called out specifically, when it is unintentional it could be because:

  • the writer is playing it safe (better safe than sorry – a motto or a way of life?)
  • the author is talking to himself (knowing we all have similar thoughts) (be patient, please)
  • the author embraces the painfully slow process of transformation
  • it’s kind of fun to do the impossible

In hearing, we never remember, in discovering it ourselves, we never forget.

Be Afraid to Stop

“Be not afraid of going slowly;  be only afraid of standing still”. — Chinese Proverb

I just wrote a blog post at jeff noel.com about this very subject.  About wondering if now is the right time, if the current approach is the right approach.

This type of potential self-doubt and potential fear, can sabatoge us from breaking through to something we can be great at.  And something we should be great at.  It’s just that we are late bloomers and are playing catch up.

This time delay – from creating a compelling vision – to it actually materializing, takes way longer than most people can comprehend.  This is why people give up and stop,

So, be not afraid of going slow.   Be afraid of stopping.
