Quick Reactions – And Authentic Power

The media, by which we are constantly inundated, seems to value fast reactions and quick responses above everything. The quickest game show answer, the fastest reaction time on the field, the first across the line… And so on.

And so we grow to believe that speed is everything.

But sometimes taking a moment to pause, not react, go within, and mobilize the best part of who we are — that is preferable. We can choose to be loving, not simply reactive.

We were once characterized as a “fast food nation”. It’s not entirely true. We are a quick on the trigger nation. We are desperate for answers now, rather than for wisdom is due time. We can change this.
