"Maybe I'm lucky to be going so slowly, because I may be going in the wrong direction."
Simplified meaning
Sometimes moving slowly can actually be a good thing, because it gives you time to realize if you're making a mistake. Imagine you are driving to a new place and are unsure of the directions. If you drive very fast and make the wrong turn, you might end up far away and waste a lot of time getting back on track. But if you drive slowly, it's easier to notice signs that you're going the wrong way, and you can correct your path more easily.
In life, moving slowly can mean taking your time with decisions or actions. Rather than rushing into things, this approach allows you to think carefully and see if you're heading towards your goals or if you need to adjust your plans. For example, when choosing a career, instead of jumping into the first job offer, taking the time to research and reflect on what you really want can help ensure you're making the right choice for long-term happiness. This way, going slowly helps avoid making big mistakes and leads to better decisions.
