Take your time! Seneca, Epistulae 1.2.1-2

Seneca advises Lucilius to approach life patiently, with a calm mind. Don't do too many things! That way, you can dedicate yourself better to what you do. You can hear me read his advice <here>.

Ex iis quae mihi scribis et ex iis quae audio bonam spem de te concipio: non discurris nec locorum mutationibus inquietaris. Aegri animi ista iactatio est: primum argumentum compositae mentis existimo posse consistere et secum morari. Illud autem vide, ne ista lectio auctorum multorum et omnis generis voluminum habeat aliquid vagum et instabile. Certis ingeniis immorari et innutriri oportet, si velis aliquid trahere quod in animo fideliter sedeat. Nusquam est qui ubique est. Vitam in peregrinatione exigentibus hoc evenit, ut multa hospitia habeant, nullas amicitias; idem accidat necesse est iis qui nullius se ingenio familiariter applicant sed omnia cursim et properantes transmittunt.

From what you write and the rumors I hear, I have good hope for you. You are not rushing about or disturbing yourself by changing location. Such hustle and bustle belongs to a mind that is not well. The first sign of a balanced mind, in my opinion, is that it stays put and entertains itself. But watch yourself here, lest you find something wandering and unstable in your habit of reading many authors, and all kinds of books. Certain mental attitudes have to be tended and nourished patiently, if you want to take anything from them that can dwell constantly in the mind. The person who is everywhere is nowhere. And those who demand a life of constant travel discover that they have many acquaintances, but no friendships. The same fate necessarily finds those who fail to apply their genius closely, preferring to scatter it far and wide in haste.
