Master Your Pace


What influences are driving your life?

Pacing is a tricky thing to master. Just when you think you’ve found your rhythm, life shifts, and the pace changes. This is why it’s crucial to understand what influences your pace and what drives you forward. What innate desire is propelling you? For some, it's a comparison, the constant need to keep up. For others, it’s the yearning to finally be understood. And for most, it’s a desire for stability and comfort.

But here’s the truth: if your pace isn’t aligned with your ultimate destiny, those pursuits will become interferences rather than advancements. When we move too fast or too slow without clarity, we risk moving in circles, never truly progressing.

Mastering your pace requires introspection and patience. It’s about knowing when to push forward and when to slow down. It’s understanding that growth isn’t a race; it’s a journey. And every step, no matter how small, takes you closer to where you’re meant to be.

So, slow down when you need to and be intentional about your pace. Trust that when your pace is aligned with your true purpose, progress will flow naturally. And remember, it’s not about moving faster than others—it's about moving steadily in the direction of your dreams. Let your pace be your own, and trust that you're exactly where you need to be.


Words of Wisdom of Char of The Week: In order to understand your influences, you need discernment. Growing in discernment helps you decipher whether this season calls for you to pick-up or slow-down your pace. One question to ask: “is what’s influencing my pace healthy and sustainable?”

I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said, BlessedInFaith. It’s so true that we can measure progress by direction instead of speed. I’ve been trying to embrace that more in my own life. One thing that’s helped me slow down without guilt is doing something I love, like reading or cooking, without any pressure to “do it well.” It’s just about enjoying the moment and not rushing through it.

I love how Char says that “growth isn’t a race.” It’s a really freeing thought. I’m definitely going to carry that with me more.

Also, I totally get why you’d recommend Aviator as a break! Sometimes, playing a game like that can be the perfect way to reset your brain.…

I love that question, TruthSeeker92! Honestly, slowing down for me has been a constant challenge. I feel guilty sometimes, like I’m not doing enough. But I’ve started setting boundaries, like giving myself a “pause” in between tasks or taking short walks during the day to reset. It’s amazing how much more clarity I get when I give myself a moment to breathe. 🌿 I think it’s also about trusting that you don’t have to be in constant motion to be productive. On a different note, I’ve found that playing a simple game like Pin-Up - https://pin-up.pk/aviator/ can sometimes help me clear my head when I’m feeling overwhelmed. It’s a fun way to take a break and reset. It’s surprisingly relaxing!…

This topic is so timely for me! I’ve been reflecting a lot on my pace lately, especially with work and personal goals. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the hustle culture, thinking that if you’re not moving fast, you’re not succeeding. But like Char says, when you’re not aligned with your true purpose, speed doesn’t matter. I love how she highlights that growth isn’t a race—it’s a journey. It really made me think about my own journey and whether I’m enjoying it or just rushing through it to get to the next “goal.” I found this article on pacing and mindfulness that explains how taking time to slow down can actually improve your mental health and productivity. You might…

Hey BlessedInFaith, I totally get what you mean about the comparison trap. It’s so easy to get caught up in what others are doing, especially with social media constantly showing everyone’s “highlight reel.” 🙄 I think for me, it’s more about the fear of being stagnant. I always feel like I should be doing something productive, and if I’m not, I feel like I’m falling behind. But this article really opened my eyes to the fact that progress isn’t always about moving fast. Sometimes it’s about intentional steps, even if they’re small.

I like the part where Char talks about discernment. I’ve been trying to be more mindful of what influences my pace. Is it fear? Comparison? Or is it…

I just read this article by Chardonnay Beaver on her site, and wow, it really hit home for me. The idea of pacing in life is so important, and it’s something I’ve struggled with for a while. I often find myself rushing through things because I feel like I’m falling behind, especially when I compare myself to others. But this article made me realize that if my pace isn’t aligned with my true purpose, I’m just spinning in circles. 🤯 If you haven’t read it yet, I’d definitely recommend checking it out: WoW by Char - Master Your Pace.
