When Speed Becomes the Enemy
Ever notice how the faster we move, the less we actually experience? We gulp down coffee while checking emails, rush through conversations while mentally planning our next task, and arrive home exhausted without remembering the journey. This isn't living-it's merely existing at high velocity. Here's the strange truth: slowing down doesn't mean accomplishing less. It means being fully present for what we're doing, which paradoxically makes us more effective. Think of Gandhi, who led 400 million people in revolution against the British Empire while remaining perpetually calm. Or consider the emergency room doctor who saves lives not by panicking but by maintaining steady focus. Speed creates the illusion of productivity while actually fragmenting our attention and depleting our energy. When we race through life, we're like drivers speeding past every exit, wondering why we never arrive anywhere meaningful. The real question isn't how much we can cram into twenty-four hours, but whether we're truly alive during those hours at all.
