What do you do if you want to go faster?

Sometimes the only thing I know is that my foot is on the gas and I can't let up the slack... However, I heard this in the video below and almost lost my breath.

Yes. That's how I feel so much of the time. GO faster.

But to go faster, as this brilliant film shows, you have to be moving slowly.

This is a counter-cultural thought.  It's also truth.  I wish I could transcribe all of the lines that hit me in the gut:

- You escape the clutches of gravity by being still, by building momentum.

- Relationships are like baby birds, you don't rush the hatch; all of the struggle gives it strength to make it through life.

- Going faster gets you there slower, worse off, or not at all.

- Focus can be blinding.

- Don't take comfort in the false security of busy.

 You're just going to have to spend three minutes and watch it yourself.

I promise you will be encouraged!

In life. At work. Maybe what you're doing isn't working. You know you need to accelerate. You know you need to change the game. Turn things up...So maybe what you need is a new way of thinking. Some new good advice. An inspiring motivational manifesto, a new big idea. and maybe that big idea...is a really simple one. One you learned when you were a child. Be the Tortoise. Not the Hare. a essay in motion about the simple truth that slowing down IS speeding up.

Now "stop and slide your little caterpillar self into that cocoon and starting making a butterfly."

Be the tortoise, not the hare.
