Everyone Is Entitled to How They Feel—Even When It Makes You Uncomfortable

We live in a world that struggles to accept feelings—our own and other people’s. When someone expresses anger, sadness, disappointment, or frustration, the response is often something like:

Slow and Steady Creates Great Things (Even If It Feels Maddeningly Slow)

Slow and Steady Creates Great Things (Even If It Feels Maddeningly Slow)

There’s something deeply unsatisfying about the idea that slow and steady wins the race. Not because it isn’t true—of course it’s true—but because it runs counter to how most of us want life to work.
