Taking two steps forward
Slow and steady has not always been an inspiring concept. It's not as sexy as speed and sharp turns of direction. But it may be just the thing to keep you from running out of gas, while still moving you forward. Abe is telling us that the most important thing is to keep walking forward, no matter how slowly. Sometimes slowness can be frustrating. You might become impatient; you might get discouraged with a setback. But a setback doesn't have to set you back. Simply using it as a learning opportunity can leapfrog you ahead again. From now on, try paying attention more to your direction and less to your speed. Be patient, focus on a little bit at a time, and soon enough, you'll be further than you ever thought. Besides, it's a good bet that by always looking forward, Abe(Lincoln) rarely looked back in regret.
The quote was - I am a slow walker - but I rarely walk backwards.
OK so I am not making fast progress - but I AM making progress

speedy progress usually doesn't last long... slow and steady does ! (in my view). Good luck with steadily, slowly, reaching your goals.
