You need to slow down right about now. Why are you trying so hard to rush past everyone else? Why get ahead of them? You haven't stopped to realize than once you zoom right by everyone, you'll be all alone! There is much more value to being in synch with the pack right now than in crossing some sort of finish line before the rest of them. You can't think of it as slowing down for the sake of others -- think of it as keeping yourself in touch with what everyone else has got going on.
