Feeling pressured to achieve dreams quickly? Keep in mind that life is not a sprint but a marathon. Reaching our goals takes time, effort, and a lot of patience. We’ve become accustomed to seeking instant results in many aspects of life—whether it's fast food or quick fixes. But the most fulfilling accomplishments come from persistent, steady progress and unwavering commitment.

@2ndchances24 That's so true, Gayle! It's that determination that keeps us going and gets things done. Your hubby's got a good sense of humor about it, though, sounds like a great team effort! Keep up the good work!

@annierose That's right, but when hubby see's my termination he says you just don't stop do you? I say termination is what gets things done & he just laughs.

I think we can blame the Internet for the need for instant gratification so much so that people are always resorting to short cuts to achieve success.

I agree, Umi. The internet definitely contributes to our desire for instant results, but the most meaningful successes come from taking the long route.

Absolutely, Sanna. Our fast-paced world can make patience feel challenging, but it's often through steady, persistent effort that we achieve the most meaningful results. It’s all about finding that balance and staying committed!

That's lovely. Sometimes, we just make up things in our mind. I would say most of the times we make the problems in our mind.

True. Perseverance. Keep on doing the same routine work day after day even when your mind is stressed and frustrated and ready to give up.
