EP168 - Slow is Cool Too

WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.750 --> 00:00:17.550 Good Day, my friend. Welcome to a moment with modes. Thank you 2 00:00:17.949 --> 00:00:23.059 so much for downloading the show. I am over the moon to be with 3 00:00:23.339 --> 00:00:31.019 you again today, Wednesday. Go East, young man, which is ironic 4 00:00:31.219 --> 00:00:37.810 because if I wanted to go to the quote unquote par east, I'd actually 5 00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:44.729 be going West. Be that as it may, confucious joins the show today 6 00:00:45.649 --> 00:00:52.960 and confucious tells us it does not matter how slowly you go, as long 7 00:00:53.000 --> 00:01:03.960 as you do not stop. In today's society we have become far too impatient, 8 00:01:04.069 --> 00:01:11.709 not only with things. Who Remembers Dial Up Internet? Who Remembers waiting 9 00:01:11.950 --> 00:01:19.260 two, three four minutes to get on the Internet? But we happily waited 10 00:01:21.459 --> 00:01:26.340 because we were weren't in a coffee shop, we weren't in an Internet cafe, 11 00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:33.010 we were at home and we have the Internet in our living room. 12 00:01:34.129 --> 00:01:36.849 What a time to be alive, and you only had to wait two or 13 00:01:36.890 --> 00:01:42.769 three minutes. Weren't to load up. Nowadays, if the Internet doesn't come 14 00:01:42.849 --> 00:01:47.640 on by the time you release your mouse finger from the click on the icon, 15 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.480 we're already wondering what the problem is. Is it the mortem? Isn't 16 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.640 my connection? Is it my phone? How come my email won't load on 17 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:06.390 my phone. We can be that way with ourselves too. We can easily 18 00:02:06.510 --> 00:02:13.669 become frustrated when we don't obtain our goal as quickly as we think we should, 19 00:02:14.710 --> 00:02:21.060 or when we compare where we are with where someone else is, even 20 00:02:21.099 --> 00:02:24.180 though we started at the same place. And, of course, we know 21 00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:31.569 my brand, that comparison is the joy killer. Success is a journey, 22 00:02:31.729 --> 00:02:38.650 my friend, not the destination. We just have to realize that as long 23 00:02:38.689 --> 00:02:46.319 as we're moving and not giving up when things get heard, things are going 24 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:53.560 to start happening for us. Hard work beats talent. And when you feel 25 00:02:53.599 --> 00:03:00.430 like given up, remember your why, remember why you started this in the 26 00:03:00.550 --> 00:03:07.430 first place, and if your why is strong enough, you won't or can't, 27 00:03:07.189 --> 00:03:15.300 quit. My friend, so many people give up, so many people 28 00:03:15.419 --> 00:03:24.259 quick it takes perseverance, focus and discipline and patience, not speed, my 29 00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:32.569 friend, not speed. Don't worry about going slow. It doesn't matter if 30 00:03:32.689 --> 00:03:39.409 someone else gets there before you. It's not pie. There's enough for everybody. 31 00:03:40.169 --> 00:03:47.599 The thing that matters is your resolve to achieve your dreams and your determination 32 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:57.909 to keep moving towards your goals. Carpe momentum. I'll talk to you tomorrow. 33 -->
