You do not need to move faster when the destination is the problem.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Speed does not help when the direction is wrong; it only shortens the time to the wrong place. The instinct under strain is to work harder, because effort is available and reconsideration is uncomfortable, and that instinct reliably produces exhausted people going somewhere they did not want to be.

If you are struggling and pushing harder, stop for an afternoon and ask whether the goal is still right. That question is cheap and almost never asked at the point it would help.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Where are you speeding up instead of asking whether to go?
