Have you ever traveled by cross country by car?
Yes, it is important that the car is running. It is important that you are moving forward. And if you are moving quickly, you’ll get to your destination faster.
But the most important thing is that you know your destination and are headed towards it. Otherwise, you’ll get somewhere, perhaps quickly, but it won’t be where you want to be.
There’s a life metaphor in there. Think about it.
