Watching acorns grow by the hour
This is most people’s strategy for growth.
Most people don’t lack talent or skill.
Or a good idea.
They lack patience.
They want results NOW.
Or sooner.
Eventually, a lack of progress leads them to quit.
In the battle between PATIENCE V IMPATIENCE, you know who wins most.
The seeds of discouragement are planted by impatience.
- What you watch for.
- What you read.
- What you listen to.
- Who you surround yourself with.
- How you talk to yourself.
- How you use your imagination.
Most people can have exactly what they want in the future if they are willing to pay the price today asks: Do the work.
