I especially like this one about going at our own zen paces. Something I find myself having to remember when like you said "we feel the world expects us to go faster and faster".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327825092931544934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148285018304147332.post-60599005566490353312016-09-25T22:07:56.499-05:002016-09-25T22:07:56.499-05:00I think slow and steady should BE the race of life...I think slow and steady should BE the race of life.

I think many other "slow" people are this way too.Lushiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14382189169839086175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148285018304147332.post-10953453733962706492016-09-25T22:05:59.726-05:002016-09-25T22:05:59.726-05:00I'm sorry to hear they turned out that way--th...I'm sorry to hear they turned out that way--the right person will be patient, or even better, go at your pace. The important thing though, is that you accept your own pace and find your strength in it, like being detail-oriented.Lushiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14382189169839086175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148285018304147332.post-59834219686934764952016-09-25T22:03:53.617-05:002016-09-25T22:03:53.617-05:00That's great that you are rarely rushed!

Now that I'm no longer working in retail, I'm not rushed much nowadays (aside from getting out the door when we go somewhere).Lushiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14382189169839086175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148285018304147332.post-22700542550229496182016-08-05T08:48:38.860-05:002016-08-05T08:48:38.860-05:00I do agree that speed is over-valued in today'...I do agree that speed is over-valued in today's society, often at the expense of accuracy and/or quality. I was lucky in that I have rarely been rushed past my pace, but since I am also details-oriented, my tasks will often run slowly.Noah Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100657617385827033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148285018304147332.post-8075254453883023562016-07-31T14:07:17.871-05:002016-07-31T14:07:17.871-05:00I just realized that i am very slow an methodical....I just realized that i am very slow an methodical. But I am very detail oriented. The detail oriented & methodical helped me at work, <br />I never thought of myself as slow, i spent my adult life alone except for two horrible attempts at relationships. Looking back, me being slow was one of the aspects that really pissed off my exes.<br />I have only been on adhd meds for last 4 years, so had no bearing on my first ex 26 years ago. irish texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189613461954103083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148285018304147332.post-87775543556418082562016-07-30T18:25:15.520-05:002016-07-30T18:25:15.520-05:00You're not slow, you're taking your time.You're not slow, you're taking your time.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148285018304147332.post-48968585495695915842016-07-30T14:37:58.009-05:002016-07-30T14:37:58.009-05:00Funny, I just changed my saying on FB to "slo...Funny, I just changed my saying on FB to "slow and steady wins the race of life."
