High Speed Increases Your Stopping Distance

“High speed increases your stopping distance. The faster you go, the less time you have to avoid a hazard or collision. The force of a 60 mph crash is not just twice as great as a 30 mph crash; it’s 4 times as great!” California Driving Handbook, 2016

How fast is your life running right now?

Are you going too slow, just at the right speed, or too fast?

Obviously, going too slow is not ideal. Going too fast is dangerous because we will inevitably crash.

You have to find the right speed for yourself. To do that, you may need to focus on a few things, do them well, and derive great satisfaction from those things. Many times, we want to do too much, but often, less is more.
