And what to do about It
I know you want things to change in your life overnight.
We all do.
Whether it’s related to money, fame, or health, we all want it instantly.
But why don’t we get it so easily?
Instant success is a myth
Big changes in life don’t happen in one night.
But that’s a dream we all chase. A false hope that has destroyed many ambitions.
From our childhood, we have been told through TV and ads that things happen fast, but that’s actually not true.
You won’t become rich instantly. You won’t leave a bad habit in a day or two. You cannot gain a new habit overnight.
People who have achieved success in any field have worked hard for a long time. They never took shortcuts. They never believed in the myth of instant success.
How real change happens
Practice makes you near perfect.
To see a real change in anything in life we need to practice new habits many times. After practicing it over a long time you will understand the importance of habits.
At first, you may feel it is difficult to do. But when you do it daily as a habit you will realise it was not as difficult as you first thought it was.
Doing things over and over makes them easier.
To build a habit, patience is needed.
We have always heard, that patience is a virtue. Consistent habits are created by being patient and trying our best. Patience helps us to grow in life.
Enjoy the journey and not the destination
Take small steps to get big results.
Don’t get overwhelmed by thinking about the result. Yes, you will achieve it but you need to focus on one step at a time.
All marathons are completed by taking one step at a time. It’s important to focus on one step and also enjoy the process.
Set goals that you can reach.
This will keep you happy and will motivate you to work hard.
You will become a millionaire if that’s your goal but first set a goal of making $1000. Once you achieve this, make another goal of $1500.
Smaller goals are easy to achieve and add up to the main bigger goal.
And after all, we are just humans. Everyone makes mistakes.
Even I do every now and then.
It’s okay to make mistakes. What’s more important is that you learn from your mistakes. Our mistakes help us to become wiser.
‘I have not failed, but found 1000 ways to not make a light bulb’ — Thomas Edison
So whatever change you are looking for in your life, it’s important that you become patient and take one step at a time.
Enjoy the journey before the destination.
