I think I can truly associate with what you are saying here. I also prefer to rather take my time and get to fully understand something (and feel comfortable with it), before I commit to it fully.
And if I feel pressured by anyone, I tend to get irritated and rather leave.
So yes, I definitely agree. It might have taken me a while to get there and yes, it would have been nice if I started earlier. But I feel comfortable with where I am, with what I do, and with how I do it now.
Rushing it could have just ended up in disaster as you rightfully say.
Thank you for your thoughtful input and for leaving your comment. I really do appreciate it!
