Taking Things Slow | Subtitles Only

Описание: I jumped into this game on the deep end instead of slowly dipping my toes so this video is about me starting over and taking things much slower than before. Enjoy!

Ecclesiastes 7:8 speaks to the quiet wisdom of staying the course, valuing patience over ego, and trusting the process instead of rushing the moment.

“The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.”

Here’s a deeper, gentle breakdown:

“The end of a matter is better than its beginning”
Beginnings are exciting, but they’re also uncertain. At the start, we don’t yet see the fruit, the growth, or the lessons that come from endurance. This line reminds us that completion carries meaning—clarity, maturity, and understanding that only time can reveal. What feels slow or unremarkable now may become deeply valuable later.

“Patience is better than pride”
Pride pushes us to rush, to prove something, or to demand results on our timeline. Patience, on the other hand, trusts that growth takes time. It’s the strength to wait without frustration, to remain humble, and to let things unfold without forcing them. Patience keeps us grounded; pride often pulls us off course.

Taken together
This verse teaches that true wisdom isn’t found in quick wins or loud beginnings, but in steady faithfulness. Life isn’t about how fast something starts, but how faithfully it’s carried through. When we choose patience over pride, we open ourselves to deeper peace and better outcomes.

At its heart, Ecclesiastes 7:8 encourages us to slow down, stay humble, and trust the process—because what lasts is often built quietly.
