Speed is up to you.

You can accelerate down your path or you can decelerate. You make choices that advance you or delay you.

Simplicity accelerates.
Complexity decelerates.

Honesty accelerates.
Deception decelerates.

Empathy accelerates.
Anger decelerates.

Patience accelerates.
Anxiety decelerates.

Self-awareness accelerates.
Self-judgment decelerates.

The environment is not in your control, and neither are other people, but driving faster and closer to your goals is a matter of choices that are in your control.

Discipline is the shortcut. Do the work.
