Driving 100 miles per hour gets you to your destination faster but does not let you fully experience what you drove through. How fast are you going through life? Are you just trying to quickly pass through and arrive safely?

Pitfalls:

If you are just passing the time but not learning from your experience, you will not gain much in the end. If you are racing through life, everything will be a blur. Do you go, go, go and push yourself exerting adrenalin? Or are you using artificial stimulants like coffee or energy drinks, etc., to keep yourself going even more? Either way, you are wearing yourself out which is cutting off your longevity. This is far from being balanced and moving with good energy at a harmonious pace. Recognizing the significance of your experiences is what counts. Slowing down to smell the roses makes all the difference. 

Solutions:

Your ambition sets the pace. The more motivated you are the more action you are ready for. You can go as fast as you want as long as you do not lose control. If things start to get out of control, hold the reins and slow down to a comfortable level so you can be aware of everything taking place. You are in charge. Make the going count and do not waste your time rushing and losing sight of what is important.

How often do you delegate to others the opportunity to help you? Whether you need a specialized service, advice or just want to enjoy something being done for you, you can entrust others to do it.

Pitfalls:

Everyone follows their own standards. Are you trying to be a one-man show? Taking on all of the work yourself is not a solution. Have you ever been disappointed with something someone else has done for you? When you delegate to others, make sure you communicate the desired outcome. This way, they can perform up to par to your level. You can even negotiate up front an out in the event the final result does not meet your expectations. This will inspire the other party to do their absolute best. Save yourself later headaches by keeping an eye out and staying on top of things.

Solutions:

Keeping busy doing something someone else can adequately do is robbing you from the time you can be spending doing what you want. Be responsible with your time and find a replacement for anything that is not up your alley. The right people with the right specialty and tools will do a much better job than you in less time. Whatever it costs you, it will free you up to do what you love. This way, you can produce your best work in the same amount of time and give opportunities to others. By allowing others to be involved, both you and they are being enriched by creating new or improving present relationships. Delegating is clearly an efficient choice. Apply it.

Do you practice what you preach? Are you walking your talk?

Pitfalls:

They say the biggest gap is between what you know and what you do. If you feel unprepared for what you want to do and you wait instead of taking action, it will never happen.

From there, you can become even better through practicing.

Solutions:

You have your whole life to practice. Be patient and persistent. To prepare for the Olympic Games an Olympian repeats what he or she is competing in thousands of times. Every time you practice you improve and reach another level. It upgrades your energy and everyone will know it.

When I miss a second day of practice, the band knows it. But if I miss a third day of practice, the whole audience knows it. Spiritually, it is important to practice being loyal to yourself first!
