Today, I want to discuss the hustle and bustle of everyday life and how we can actually get ahead by slowing down.

The pace of the world today is frantic. Everything seems to be changing and evolving each moment and sometimes it feels like you can never stay on top of everything. That's why slowing down is so important.

When you slow down, you start to see more clearly. You can see what priorities are or what activities are a waste of time. You'll notice who you like interacting with and how they make you feel. You'll gain awareness.

I think our world is short on self-awareness right now. We're overloaded with filters and activity. Only by slowing down can we start to remove those layers that cover our true selves. 

Do you agree?
