WHOSE PACE HAVE YOU ADJUSTED TO?

Sidney Poitier in his book "the measure of a man" wrote that when you go for a walk with someone, two unspoken things happen.They either match your pace or you match theirs

And the question is whose pace have you adjusted to?.

There's a common saying that goes-"you hang around the barbers shop, sooner or later you'll get a hair cut". mm! Isn't this true? That you become like the person you hang with?

Rollo May, a great and distinguished psychiatrist as quoted in Earl nightingale's "strangest secret"-wrote a book called "Man’s Search for Himself", and in this book he says: “The opposite of courage in our society today is not cowardice … it is conformity.” And there you have the reason for so many failures. Conformity — people acting like everyone else, without knowing why or where they are going.

It is true isn't it? that people often want to just go with the crowd, to just jump on the bandwagon without thinking their destination. And do you know why? I'll tell you! They're afraid of standing alone or been pushed into the sphere of silence.

Have you adjusted to your peers pace, have you adjusted to your parents pace, have you adjusted to the society's pace, have you adjusted to your fiance/fiancee or your spouse pace?. WHOSE PACE HAVE YOU ADJUSTED TO? Ask yourself, rethink your destination and you may need to re-adjust your pace.
