"Joy erupts within us when we allow an experience to touch the very depths of our souls. That cannot be rushed. It’s time to slow down to the speed of joy."

"Busy is a choice. Hurry is a choice. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you have no choice. Don’t surrender your power like that. You can decide right now to abolish urgent, busy, and hurry from your life."

"God’s mandate is love. The speed of our lives is incompatible with love. The busyness of our lives is incompatible with love. This busyness is not of God. Our joyless urgency is not of God. We have brought this breathlessness upon ourselves, but we can choose a new path."

"Busy is loveless and lifeless and soulless, and so, it is completely incapable of knowing your hopes, hurts, needs, and dreams. It is time to ruthlessly eliminate busy from our lives."

"You cannot hurry love. You can’t multi-task love. Love cannot be hacked. Love cannot be rushed. It takes as long as it takes."

"Slowing down to the speed of joy gets easier the more we realize we have enough and that we are enough."

"You don’t need more time. Cast that deception aside. If you needed more time God would have given you more time. More time isn’t the answer. The answer is: careful selection, prayerful discernment, a grateful heart, and acknowledgment of the reality of our finitude."

"Life is the now. Slowing down to the speed of joy allows us to fully experience the now. It isn’t the breathless thrashing of doing or grasping or seizing or taking, it’s about receiving."

"The speed of joy is the speed that allows you to flourish."

"Slowing down to the speed of joy has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. I am by no means the patron saint of the speed of joy, but I’m a true believer in its ability to transform how we experience life."
