Controlled Speed
"I am often told to slow down…
Here’s my response…
'SPEED THE FREAK UP!'”
- Jared Yellin
I get it…
COUNTER-INTUITIVE!
But we are at a place right this moment where slowing down is going to do the exact opposite of what you desire.
Now more than ever - we must speed up!
This does not mean you become careless.
This does not mean you become destructive.
This does not mean you become hasty.
It means that you step into...CONTROLLED SPEED!
You may or may not know that my family and I just picked up our lives and in one week moved from CT to FL.
Got rid of our home.
Got rid of our “stuff.”
Got a new home.
Got our kiddos into an awesome Montessori school.
Got an extended stay cottage at a beautiful resort until our home was ready.
Drove 20+ hours as a family unit.
All in one week.
Most would say that was hasty, careless, destructive…
But I would say it’s SPEED!
SPEED because life is too short to just keep waiting for what you want.
SPEED because we did not want our children to miss more school.
SPEED because we did not want to sit in the gray in CT as a square peg, round hole, with our beliefs.
SPEED because we don’t wait for life to happen to us, rather, we make life happen for us.
I bring this to the surface not so that you pick up your life and move as quickly as we did - unless maybe that’s what you are meant to do…
But instead…
Why are you still thinking about your brand?
Why are you still thinking about falling in love?
Why are you still thinking about going on that diet?
Why are you still thinking about launching your company?
Why are you still thinking about approaching your manager and asking for the promotion?
Why are you still thinking about reaching out to a potential client?
Why are you still thinking about hiring someone that will make your quality of life better?
WHY ARE YOU STILL THINKING...PERIOD!
I have NEVER met someone who is able to THINK their way into their “have it all.”
I have NEVER met someone who is able to THINK their way into “financial freedom.”
I have NEVER met someone who is able to THINK their way into “love.”
I have NEVER met someone who is able to THINK their way into “health.”
And yet…
I THINK ferociously…
I THINK constantly…
I THINK incessantly…
But I don’t THINK my way into ACTION…
I ACT my way into THINKING!
This means I am in action mode as I am in thinking mode because like I mentioned earlier…
Life is too short to just keep thinking…
Life is too rich and rewarding to just keep thinking…
Life has too much to offer to just keep thinking…
My challenge to you is to step into whatever ACTION you are meant to take and feel an INSATIABLE DESIRE FOR SPEED!!!!!
I promise...you will be okay!
I promise...you will make it!
I promise...you will appreciate it!
I promise...step into SPEED and you will begin a journey to whatever it is that you desire which has been held back by THINKING about it!
ACT + THINK at the same time…
Throw in some SPEED…
And get what you WANT!
Cool?!
Live with Intention,
