5.) Speed- you can be as slow as a turtle. You can get confused, depressed, be weighed down by the world, procrastinate, and take forever on something. We can wait to the last-minute to do something. We can wait to long to exit a relationship. We can take to long to move one forward. We can take to long asking someone to marry us. We can take to long to get a divorce. We can rush into things, be impulsive, want instant gratification.

We can miss opportunities in relationships, jobs, even education because we’re worrying about the past, allowing fears to get in the way, worrying about failures, sins, and mistakes. We can miss them because we beat ourselves up for not being perfect in another person. We forget we are perfect in the image of God.

We allow other people to affect our choices, decisions, and our focus. We allow people to stress us out by staying in the environment, or allowing them to be in our sphere.

We miss opportunities for various reasons and may be to fast or slow because of multiple variables that are happening our lives. We miss opportunities by hanging on to long, not letting go, getting stuck, and moving forward. Fortunately we are all going through the same emotions, feelings, grief, pain and suffering with different circumstances and stories.

We forget to be compassionate, forgiving, loving, and have mercy on our selves and others. It may take to long or it may be fast that we learn different lessons in life. Some people learn fast, and others slow. We are so focused on man-made time, that we leave before things get better, and we miss the victory because we have lost patience, have grown tired, and allow stress to rob us of the joy and blessing.
