Clarity over speed
We're all in a rush these days, aren't we? Sprinting through life like it's some kind of race. But here's a thought: what if we're running so fast we're missing the signs?
I used to be that person. Always chasing the next big thing, making snap decisions, and priding myself on how quickly I could get things done. But you know what? I was making a mess. A fast mess, but a mess all the same.
Then it hit me: clarity beats speed every time.
Think about it. When was the last time you made a great decision in a hurry? Sure, you might've lucked out once or twice. But those moments are rare. More often, rushing leads to mistakes, misunderstandings, and missed opportunities.
Clarity isn't about being slow. It's about being deliberate. It's taking a breath before you speak. It's sleeping on that big decision. It's asking one more question before you dive in.
And here's the irony: seeking clarity often saves time in the long run. How many hours have you wasted fixing rushed mistakes? How many relationships have been strained by hasty words?
Now, I'm not saying we should all move at a snail's pace. Sometimes you need to act fast. But even then, a moment of clarity can make all the difference.
So next time you feel that urge to rush, pause. Ask yourself: Do I have all the information I need? Am I seeing the whole picture? What's the cost of getting this wrong?
Clarity over speed. It's not just about making better decisions. It's about living a life that's intentional, not just busy. It's about quality over quantity.
And who knows? You might find that by slowing down just a bit, you actually get further, faster. Funny how that works, isn't it?
