Where are you headed so quickly? What’s the rush? How much sooner would you get there if you took a break?

You might need to stop for gas, or for a pit stop, or to get directions. Maybe you need slow down enough that you don’t go careering over the side of a mountain. Nothing is slower than the traveler who never reaches her destination.

Whatever’s driving you, make sure it’s taking you where you want to go. Otherwise, slam those brakes.
