      1. ‘slow or steady’ in today’s world

      The ‘Slow or Steady’ mantra has been handed down through generations, symbolizing the virtues of patience, consistency, and persistence. Yet, in today’s fast-paced, instant-gratification society, is it losing its relevance? 

      Our video begins with a deep exploration of this issue, raising questions about the clash between age-old wisdom and modern society’s ever-accelerating pace. 

      While we’re pushed to accomplish more in less time, the video suggests that this pace might not always be the most productive or fulfilling.

      2. living intentionally

      Intentional living forms the crux of the video and provides a solution to the dilemma of fast versus slow. Rather than solely focusing on speed or tempo, it encourages the viewer to consider the intention behind their actions. 

      Are you moving fast just for the sake of it? 

      Or is there a purpose driving your pace? 

      Living intentionally helps align your daily actions with your overarching goals, fostering a sense of satisfaction and contentment. It’s not just about the destination but the journey you take to get there.

      3. the power of patience

      Even in our fast-paced society, patience has its undeniable rewards. From brewing a perfect cup of coffee to finishing a complex project, good things often require time and patience. 

      The video takes an in-depth look at the virtue of patience and why it remains valuable, irrespective of societal pressure to accelerate. It explores various examples where taking a step back, slowing down, and allowing things to unfold in their own time can yield superior outcomes.

      4. questioning age-old wisdom

      Should all wisdom stand the test of time? Our video encourages viewers to question and critically evaluate the advice passed down through generations. With the backdrop of ‘Slow or Steady’, it stimulates a discussion about how such maxims might need adaptations to remain effective in our evolving societal context. 

      What worked in a different era might not perfectly fit into our present reality. Intrigued about how you can apply this reflective approach to other aspects of life?

      5. the stoics and ‘make haste, slowly’

      The video highlights an age-old Stoic motto: “Festina lente” or “make haste, slowly”. This paradoxical wisdom bridges the gap between the ‘Slow or Steady’ philosophy and the fast pace of today’s world. 

      It suggests that you can move quickly towards your goals while being intentional and steady in your actions. Keen to understand how ancient Stoic wisdom can guide us in today’s world? 

      As the world around us hurtles forward at breakneck speed, we might find ourselves questioning the wisdom of ‘Slow or Steady’. 

      Has it lost its relevance? 

      Or can we adapt it to serve us even in the face of relentless acceleration?

      Our video provides a platform for this contemplation, exploring the intricate balance between the virtues of patience and steadiness, and the demands of our fast-paced lives. 

      It challenges us to consider the value of intentionality, the rewards of patience, the necessity to question inherited wisdom, and the potential solutions offered by ancient philosophies such as Stoicism.

      But the journey doesn’t end there. There’s much more to uncover, question, and consider. To join us on this enlightening exploration of time, pace, and intention, tune into our full video. 

      Embrace the journey, not just the destination, as you navigate through the twists and turns of life, at your own pace.
