“It’s better to go slowly in the right direction than go speeding off in the wrong direction.”

Thought: “The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit” by my friend Amy Corriveau quoting Moliere. After some brief research, I’m not sure this quote is entirely science-based but I get it anyways. I’m not patient. I’m ready to move past hurt much faster than the trauma has healed. I’m ready to reconcile relationships quickly when I mess up whether or not they are ready. My world lives in “what have you done lately” with the next project, next proposal, and the next win. Reflecting, nothing meaningful I’ve done has happened fast lasted. That quote is a good reminder than fruit grows from both fast and slow growth but the fruit that’s worthwhile comes from the time to mature. There’s a reason aged spirits and cheese cost more. My new focus is to grow slow rather than grow more.
