Or “make haste slowly”.

Do you need to run? Why?

Most of the times we are under “anxiety mode”, and running will add nothing to our process.

Once I was driving a car, running more than it was allowed… and it paid off? I got 3 minutes earlier than expected in a 45 minute ride. Later that month, I got a fine and a bill to pay. Not as good as I once thought.

Tranquility should be our default state of mind. Usually we can control our breathing and we can write about what we are feeling.

Since ever, we can’t control what will happen, neither what people will think and say.

How can one build tranquility? Should we just be still? Or it’s a matter of time? Or just discipline to do what we need to do?
