Summary
Listen to episode 729 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Creative Power of Waiting vs. Hurrying. Edited and adapted from Working With God by Gardner Hunting.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: People who do really great things never hurry. Nobody who writes a great book ever hurries. The great surgeon never hurries. The pilot of a great ship never hurries. The effective public speaker never hurries. Hurry never made a friend. It defeats the lover. Hurry never builds safely.
Hurry blinds the eyes to beauty. It destroys accuracy in the hand. It ruins judgment. It slurs action. Hurry is what causes heart failures and nervous breakdowns. It overlooks the important things and sees only the trifles.

| 0:06.0 | businesses like Magic Spoon and Mattel, who sell through the roof, you probably attribute |

| 0:35.8 | shoppers into buyers. With Shopify, you can sell wherever |
| 0:40.3 | your customers are a scrolling or strolling, on the web, in your store, in their feed, and everywhere |

| 1:49.6 | Okay. by Gardner Hunting, published in 1934. It is almost funny sometimes how we get ourselves all primed with good intentions to love and trust, |
| 1:58.3 | to give out what we want to get back, to do one to others what we want them |
| 2:04.3 | to do one to us. And then the minute we find some trouble bombing up in an unexpected way, |
| 2:11.7 | we get all upset and confused and scared, and grasp at the first thing that suggests itself for getting even, |
| 2:20.3 | forgetting our own way, for avoiding humiliation, for saving face. |
