If I'm being honest, patience has never been one of my strong suits. I've always been the type of person who wants to get from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible, with as little friction or delay as possible.

Whether it was advancing in my career, building my dream business, or manifesting the life of my wildest imaginings, I've always had this underlying sense of urgency - this drive to make things happen NOW. Slow and steady? Pfft, who has time for that?

But over the past year or so, I've been forced to reevaluate that mindset. Because the truth is, when you try to rush the process, you often end up sabotaging your own progress. You get impatient, make rash decisions, and undermine the very goals you're trying so hard to achieve.

It happened to me when I tried to fast-track my business growth. I ended up taking on too much, burning myself out, and having to scale way back.

So I made a conscious choice to slow down, to get comfortable with uncertainty, and to fully surrender to the divine timing of it all. And you know what I discovered? That when I gave myself permission to move at my own pace, amazing things started to happen.

I began to show up more fully in each moment, savor the small wins, and find joy in the journey - not just the destination. My business started to grow in a sustainable way.

So if you, like me, have a tendency to rush through life, I encourage you to pause, take a deep breath, and embrace the power of patience. The universe has a plan, and when you stop demanding it unfold on your schedule, the magic really starts to happen.

The finish line isn't going anywhere. But the journey? Well, that's where the real beauty lies.
