Make Haste Slowly

“Make haste slowly.”- Augustus

Take care of yourself. Take one step at a time. Do one thing at a time. It is your life. Do not play with it. If you do not take care of it, who do you think is going to do it for you?

Slow down. There is no need to run. What belongs to you will never leave you. All you need to do right now is to focus on what is going on in your life.

What you do today takes care of where you are going. But if you do not take one step at a time, if you do not “make haste slowly”, you will not see what is around you. Think about that.

Are You Doing Something That Matters?

If you are not doing things that matter to you, to your life, you are just wasting your precious life. You can’t build yourself by doing things that don’t matter. You can’t get to where you want to be by doing things that are not going to get you there.

If you want to be successful in your life, you must “start something that means a lot to you.” If what you are doing right now doesn’t mean a lot to you, you are just wasting your time. Don’t waste your own time. It is your time. Don’t waste it on things that don’t mean a lot to you, to your dreams. Suzy Kassem writes, “Start something that means a lot to you.” If you want to grow your life, if you want your boss to keep you, if you want your boss to promote you, if you want to start your own business, you must start something that means a lot to you. Without it, you are not going anywhere. Without doing something that matters, you are not going to reach your final destination (if there is one).
