Being fast on the slow lane.
“YOU’RE GROWING TOO SLOW.”

I open Twitter and see stuff like that every time.
Influencers tell others that they are growing too slowly.
Acting like growth is measured in how quickly you can increase your follower number.
But there’s something they don’t tell you.
Speed is not everything.
While the hare is running.
The tortoise walks.
While the hare is sleeping.
The tortoise walks.
When the hare wakes up.
The tortoise is past the finish line.
Speed will get you far, but it’s not the most essential part.
The power of consistency.
While the hare was quicker than the tortoise.
The tortoise outlasted the hare and kept going.
It was slower, but had a steady pace, and thus won.
If you follow me, you probably know I’m running my own race.
I’m running the Road 2 10k, check it here if you haven’t seen it already.
Consistency is what gets you to your goal.
And on the way to the finish line, you meet a lot of people.
The connections you made on the way.
Throughout my Medium journey, I have met a lot of amazing people.
While money and personal growth is amazing by itself.
The true treasure was in the friends I made along the way (I know it’s cliche af).
And we should all slow down sometimes, and think why we’re doing what we’re doing.
Because speed is great at times, but it certainly is not everything.
