Speed makes things exhilarating. The blur of lights and colours as you pass them by; the noises that dim into the distance; the landmarks ahead that rush towards you. But then the high disappears, and you realize you position. You're missing so much on your way. You're stepping into holes you never meant to be near. You start swerving, and realizing that the exhilaration is based on the premise that you are utterly, and gloriously, on the edge of losing all control.
So, let's slow things down a bit.
I've been making too many mistakes lately. Not paying attention to details enough, and judging too quickly. I'm jumping to conclusions and putting a lot of important things in jeopardy. So slow down and do things right the first time. Too much spontaneity can be a bad thing.
I listen to people, I analyze, and I think. I know I still have lots of room to grow and improve. Believe me, I'm working on all of it.
