The Cost of Always Being in a Hurry

1. Everyone wants it now. Success. Followers. Money. Status.

But rushing isn’t always progress. Sometimes it’s panic in disguise.

2. Hustle culture told us speed equals value. That if you’re not moving fast, you’re falling behind.

But ask yourself — are you building or just busy?

3. The truth? Speed without direction leads to burnout.

Movement without meaning is just noise.

4. Some of the most powerful things grow slowly — trust, skill, depth, vision.

And what grows slow tends to last longer.

5. Insight is about choosing clarity over chaos.

About asking: “Is this path mine, or am I copying someone else’s rush?”

6. You don’t have to trend today.

You have to last.

7. Africa doesn’t need more rushed creators.

It needs rooted ones — the ones who take time to build something unshakeable.

8. So pause. Breathe. Think.

And then move — not faster, but smarter.

Because legacy is never rushed.
