Pace

December 25, 2009

The pace I’m referring to is the pace at which we all operate; the pace at which we live our lives.  Everyone’s pace is determined by their inner inclinations, or personality, in addition to external influences, such as upbringing.  This means that everyone has a pace that is only their own; no one’s pace is the same as anyone else’s.  Some might be similar, but never the same.

The pace of those who go to school is more or less similar, as they all start a certain year and end a certain year.  There might not be a difference in terms of start and end times, but one’s inner pace will dictate how much one does and achieves in that time.

Everyone’s pace is influenced, but never determined, by the people and events around them.  This helps us somewhat in that we can adjust our pace if we mingle with similarly paced persons.  But how do we know the best pace for ourselves?  How do we determine our optimal pace through life?

Is there a single, best pace?  Are there two?  Three?  Or does the pace have to be variable, different every day, month, or year, depending on one’s phase in life?  When people say “take it slow,” do they mean for the next two minutes?  Two years?

It’s kinda daunting now that I don’t have the structure of school to determine my pace.  I can’t operate at minimum pace; I don’t know how, nor do I want to find out.  I can’t operate at maximum pace either; I don’t want to burn out early.  I need to find my optimal pace.  But how?

What will influence me?  Who will influence me?

Need to develop a decision matrix to get the best solution..
