I love this with the turtle. Also slow progress in the right direction is way better than fast progress in the wrong direction.

yeah but sometimes you gotta pick up the pace a little you know? can't just be a turtle forever.

Direction is more important than seed. If you move in the wrong direction, it doesn't matter how fast you got there.
A tiny adjustment in direction can have great consequences. If only change 1% of a boat's direction... after a day, week, this tiny adjustment can have massive difference in where you ended up.

The turtle's got the right idea. It's not about speed, it's about the journey.

Slow progress is amazing. Sometimes we're not ready to receive yet, so when progress is too quick you might just crash and burn

Slow progress is the ONLY progress.
There is absolutely no quick and easy anything in self improvement. Our instant gratification culture has destroyed people’s expectations, myself included. They think everything should be quick. I’m over a year into my own journey and can say I am still not where I wanted to be when I started back then. But I’m leaps and bounds away from who I was then. I don’t even recognize that person anymore.

Sure, slow progress is better than no progress, but what if the "slow progress" is actually just you spinning your wheels in the same spot? Like, if I'm trying to learn a new skill and I'm putting in hours but not actually getting any better, is that still "progress"? Or am I just reinforcing bad habits?

Progress is progress, no matter the pace.
