A normal course of life is having both survival and growth mode.
Every one of us go thru these phases & that’s called life.
Though, the weightage of growth mode should be higher than survival to succeed and move faster in life.
Too long of survival mode can be detrimental to your growth.
Most poor people live in survival mode. It’s a vicious cycle. They live to survive because of lack of resources. And stay poor forever.
And most rich people live in growth mode. The more you grow, the more momentum you build and the compounding is in your favor.
Pause, brake and slow down whenever needed. Though you can’t be in slow lane for a long period of time if you want to cover long distance, faster. You’ll simply get tired and fatigued.
Try to be get back in fast lane. That will fasten up the progress aka growth.
Remember, the goal is to thrive to lead a good life.
Too long stuck in survival mode, your cortisols spikes, you get stressed and start goofing around. And believe me, you don’t want to walk that path.
Keep pushing.
