Be patient and persistent from "summary" of Chop Wood Carry Water by Joshua Medcalf
The path to success is not a sprint but a marathon. It requires patience and persistence. You must be willing to put in the work day in and day out, with no guarantee of immediate results. This is where many people falter - they want instant gratification, quick fixes, overnight success. But true success is a slow and steady process. It is about showing up every day, doing the work, and trusting the process.
When you are patient and persistent, you are able to weather the storms that come your way. You understand that setbacks are just part of the journey, not the end of it. You keep going, even when things get tough, because you know that success is not about how many times you fall down, but how many times you get back up.
Persistence is about consistency. It is about showing up, even when you don't feel like it. It is about putting in the work, day in and day out, even when you don't see immediate results. It is about trusting that your efforts will pay off in the long run, even if you can't see it right now.
Patience is about trusting the process. It is about understanding that success takes time. It is about knowing that you may not see the fruits of your labor right away, but if you keep going, if you keep putting in the work, eventually you will reach your goals.
So, be patient and persistent. Trust the process. Show up every day and do the work, no matter what. Success is not about how talented you are or how lucky you are. It is about how willing you are to put in the effort, day in and day out, with no guarantee of immediate results. Success is a journey, not a destination. So keep going. Keep pushing. Keep chopping wood and carrying water.
