Last week, while driving home from a work trip, I found myself watching something I have probably seen hundreds of times before.
The motorway was flowing smoothly. Yet cars kept changing lanes, squeezing into small gaps and accelerating to get ahead.
For a moment I thought, perhaps they have somewhere important to be. Then another question quietly arrived.
All of them?
That simple drive became this week's observation on The Slow Step. It isn't really about traffic.
It's about how easily rushing becomes our default setting. We hurry through roads, conversations, weekends and even life itself, often believing the next lane will somehow get us to where we want to be.
I Came Across This:
While writing this week's article, I also found myself watching another episode of How They Made It by Groww.
On the surface, it's a documentary series about people who have built wealth in different ways. What keeps me going back, though, isn't the money. It's the courage. Time and again, you meet ordinary people who walked away from lives that already looked successful because they wanted to build one that felt more like their own.
That felt strangely connected to this week's observation.
Sometimes the most meaningful journey isn't about finding the fastest lane.
It's about finding the one that's truly yours.

If you do watch it, I would love to know what stayed with you.
Thank you to the team behind How They Made It by Groww for creating conversations that encourage people to think differently about work, success and the lives we choose to build. One recent episode quietly stayed with me while writing this week's observation.
