True speed comes not from rushing through life, but from moving with such clear intention that every step carries you exactly where you need to go.

And that is the thought for today.

Welcome to Seven Good Minutes.

I'm Clyde Lee Dennis.

Thanks for joining me for what I believe will be seven of the most enriching minutes of your day.

In today's episode of Seven Good Minutes, we talk about releasing the need to rush.

Enjoy.

In this very moment, as you listen to these words, notice what's happening in your body.

Are your shoulders tense? Is your breathing shallow?

Are you already thinking about the next thing you need to do after this episode ends?

If so, you're experiencing what millions of people feel every single day, the relentless pressure

to rush through life, as if speed itself were the measure of success.

By the end of this episode, you'll understand why releasing the need to rush isn't about

moving slower, but about moving with intention, and how this shift can transform your effectiveness, your relationships, and your

overall sense of well-being. We live in a culture that has made rushing of virtue. We celebrate being

busy. We wear our packed schedules like badges of honor. And we've convinced ourselves that if we're

not constantly in motion, we're somehow falling behind. But here's what

I've discovered through years of observing human behavior, the people who rush the most often

accomplish the least of what truly matters. Rushing is not the same as moving with purpose.

When you rush, your attention becomes scattered. Your decision-making becomes reactive.

And you miss the subtle cues and opportunities that could actually make your journey more efficient and meaningful.

It's like trying to thread a needle while running.
