"Festina Lente" is a quote I came across recently that speaks to me about progress gained by not pushing through the frustrating parts. Σπεῡδε Βραδέως for the classical Greek fans among us, festina lente means "make haste slowly." Sometimes the best thing to do is put down the chisel - or the pen, or the social media, or what-have-you when things aren't working out. With age has come wisdom, and not only the ability to put the chisel down, but the peace to be okay with it. The project will be there later when I'm in a better head/heart space. I'll get a lot further not having to re-do things because I kept going when I should have stopped.
What do you do when you find yourself at the crossroads of ambition and frustration?
