Look at something when you’re moving quickly (or that something is moving quickly), and whatever you’re looking at appears blurry.
You can test this for yourself. Simply stand or sit still and move your head back and forth quickly from left to right, and from right to left a few times. What did you notice? Your surroundings appeared blurry, didn’t they?
Given the rapid movement, our eyes are unable to focus so we can’t resolve details. The result is that we experience a motion blur effect.
An analogous motion blur effect happens as we move quickly through our day-to-day: we’re moving so fast we can’t focus or resolve details. We’re moving so fast that we’re unable to see things clearly.
Clarity and focus come from slowing down.
Slowing down gives us time to notice, to understand, to process, to prepare, and to adapt.
