Contagious Courage 7/7: Sometimes the Fastest Way to Get There is to Slow Down
Manage episode 476810972 series 3638359
Stardust and stillness—two forces that might seem unrelated but form the foundation of our courage.
The atoms in your body, from the iron in your blood to the calcium in your bones, were forged in ancient stars that exploded billions of years ago.
Before you ever faced fear or anxiety, you were created from remnants of things that died already shining. This isn't just poetry—it's physics.
Through this cosmic lens, Dr. Derek Suite explores how courage and slowness aren't contradictions but complementary strengths.
The universe itself operates through expansion, contraction, silence, and fire. When we recognize this rhythm, we understand that stillness isn't weakness—often, it's the most courageous act available to us
. "Sometimes the fastest way to get where you're going is to slow down," Dr. Suite reminds us, echoing ancient wisdom from spiritual traditions that science confirms.
Our brains require stillness to rewire, our hearts need rhythm to reset. In a world that celebrates constant motion, taking 10 minutes of silence represents a revolutionary act of courage.
When you slow down and breathe, you participate in the resurrection available each moment.
