Underrated life advice: Become difficult to rush. The world will pressure you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed relationships. Rushed conversations. Rushed timelines. There's power in rejecting that trend. Pause. Slow down. Create space to think clearly.

Whenever anyone pressures you to slam on the accelerator, slam on the brake.

There is real strength in refusing to be rushed. Clear decisions often need space, patience, and time.

Sometimes slowing down is the smartest move you can make. Not everything needs an immediate response.

key assumptions in your head first, if that doesnt hold up rushing into the details doesnt matter anyway. Slowing down there is where the good decisions actually come from

My friend got a divorce. When I asked him what he would change in this marriage, he said: "I'd have gone to Vipassana to sit for 10 days. I'd have never gotten married to her." Take some time off before making a big decision.

I’m fast on drafting. Slow on deciding. Most of my bad calls were made on someone else’s timeline.

When you go into things too quickly, it always tends to be a mistake. Need to take your time. Patience is key.

I call it “The microwave Era”. People want things done in 20 seconds. Speed and wisdom are opposite!

Totally underrated… I’m constantly rushed by others. There’s a good book called: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark

100% agree with this, and have been very intentional about it but I admit I am been getting irritated by people in my network who are constantly interrogating and then trying to rush along.

Twice this week I've been in situations where I was rushed to make on the spot decisions and the best thing I did for myself was say "Can you let me have a think about this and get back to you?" And it was the best decision in both cases. Saved me from being oversold.

It’s done by design. Society needs you financially committed somewhere so the rich can keep the money growing in their pockets.

If I ever get a speeding ticket for being too chill, I’ll just hand the officer a business card that says “Patience: Now Accepting Appointments”. 🫡

And when you do that, people will get annoyed. Because you are taking control away from them.

Slow done you move to fast. Gotta make the morning last. 1966 Simone and Garfinkle. Think about 1966 being a metronome 100 beats per minute. 2026 300 beats per minute. Too fast to comprehend. Exactly what is wanted by the globalist

Great advice. Perhaps delayed gratification in earlier years is great training for this and possibly why the majority of Gen Z, Gen Alpha and Gen Beta struggle.
