Understand that progress takes time from "summary" of Do the Work! by Steven Pressfield
It's easy to get caught up in the desire for immediate results. We live in a world where everything moves at lightning speed and we expect the same from our own progress. But the truth is, achieving real, lasting progress takes time. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon.
Think of progress as a tree growing. You can't force a tree to grow faster by pulling on its branches. It needs time to take root, grow strong, and reach for the sky. In the same way, our own progress needs time to develop and mature. It's a process that can't be rushed.
When we understand that progress takes time, we free ourselves from the pressure of instant gratification. We allow ourselves the space to grow and learn at our own pace. This doesn't mean we should become complacent or lazy. It simply means we need to be patient and trust in the process.
Progress is not always linear. There will be setbacks, obstacles, and challenges along the way. But these are all part of the journey towards our goals. Embrace them as opportunities for growth and learning. Each step, no matter how small, is a step forward.
By accepting that progress takes time, we can focus on the present moment and the actions we need to take right now. Instead of constantly looking ahead to the end goal, we can appreciate the journey and the lessons it brings. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. But with persistence, dedication, and time, we can achieve great things. So trust in the process, stay committed, and keep moving forward.
