Seneca: Some people, through too little effort rather…

Starting something does not make it sacred. You may have chosen a habit, job, project, or relationship pattern with the best information you had at the time. If the evidence now shows it is harmful or unworkable, changing course can be wise. At the same time, every difficult middle stage can make a new path look attractive. The challenge is to distinguish a thoughtful correction from restless escape. Give yourself a short review today. What are you continuing simply because you began it? What are you tempted to abandon only because it has become uncomfortable? Look at the facts, your values, and the likely consequences of each choice. Then make a deliberate decision and give it an honest stretch of effort. A stable life is not one that never changes direction. It is one guided by considered commitments instead of momentum or impulse.
