It starts when it stops.

It starts when it stops.

You focus so hard on something, you push, you strive, but the progress slows.

It’s not quite right, it’s not quite there.

Then you stop, you step away.

And it comes.

The dots connect, the ideas emerge, the answers flow.

Your subconscious does the work for you, its primed, its ready, let it go.

Sometimes if you want to go faster, go further,  you have to take your foot off the gas.

There’s always a moment, when you feel like you should keep going, but you also know you shouldn’t.

As with most things, we know when that is, try stopping, even for a short time.

There is power in the pause.
