my grandmother recently told me the other day as i was in a hurry for work. She said theres no reason to rush, its not worth it. Hearing that helped me out, so its amazing this video was recently published around the same time i was told that. I have a lot of goals to accomplish , and with my 10-12 hour work days outside my productivity on my other tasks is shy of 100%. media can make us feel as if life is a competition or race... when we look up and around us, soak in the present moment and be grateful and thankful to be breathing , we realize the world itself is beautiful when we let go to the attachment we have on issues

[@VincentBarrios]

I've been trying to produce content for KZbin and Instagram and I occasionally always have this feeling of needing to put out content or else I'm failing but I keep trying to tell myself to slow down and master the basics (editing, video ideas, shorts, reels etc.). I've been realizing that lately and this video is a blessing in disguise just confirming to slow down and be patient. Always loved your work Cole and love the message you're putting out.

I got the why rush sweatshirt from the bycolebennett drop so i had to watch immediately, and quickly realized the message was the exact one i needed to hear. The combination of that, rick rubin telling me exactly what I needed to hear as well (Im reading his book rn and am a huge fan of his), and everything about this was amazing. why rush when you could be here now?(another great book btw).

[@immflurry6778]

That was beautiful.. the sound of the horrendous scare of traveling the path of which others will never understand. To reveal in the end those who slow down to enjoy life, are rewarded. Rewarded with life. Even when the 3rd guy made it to the end and experienced the jump from others dying. He was reminded why rush? To slow down and enjoy the little things. What makes that so much more beautiful is that upon reflection the first guy was quick but stressed. He died first. The second was messy and trying to catch up… a beautiful depiction of a realist perspective . For the one who chooses to pioneer his own way. Choose the process that is not understood initially. Beautiful. - Fletcher Rives
