Is anything (anyone) full speed ahead all the time? We slow down, speed up, chill out, get revved.
Getting revved builds momentum, slowing down brings inertia. Momentum is great but needs push to overcome friction. Inertia definitely needs push to get some momentum.
Lagging too long makes will require that much extra push, so if there is anything we want to get good at we need to do at least a little of it every day to keep some momentum going. (like taking pictures…)
Simon Sinek, author and motivational speaker has a great quote. “It’s not about intensity. It’s about consistency.” But lulls happen so sometimes we have to throw some pushing in the mix.
