The people I respect the most, both personally and professionally

take their time.

No shortcuts. No rushes. Nothing done too quickly, however, sometimes quickly to keep fear behind instead of in front.

Allowing a full thought to take its time coming out of your mouth.
Speaking slowly enough so people understand you the first time.
Reading this blog again before sending it.
Actually cooking dinner, cutting up vegetables, and carefully tasting everything as you go along.
Taking time to do unpleseant grownup activities like reviewing your finances.
Reading books.
Writing longer and more detailed emails.
Listening to your body when you are tired.
Honoring the fact that some days are not designed to be fun but need to be done anyway.
Not running from painful feelings. Running does not help the productive funcion of a life as bad feelings don´t go away until they are felt or things don´t go away.
Taking the time to be honest and to say what you need to say.
Remembering what you are still afraid of, incompetent at doing, and overall would rather not spend time on.
