Patience: Nothing happens over night. It takes time to see a plan fully blossom. Waiting is never what is wanted, however it enables the seeds planted to sprout, and opportunities to occur.
If you ask any successful person, from business man to professional athlete, they will tell you that the journey to get to where they are today was not a quick one. Take even a superstar, like Lebron James, who was receiving attention even as early as freshman year in high school. Growing up with a single mother and bouncing around place to place for living, Lebron had to endure years of patience to get to where he has gotten.
As a young kid he and his teammates would take cross-country trips in a mini van to compete in basketball tournaments. He planted the seed to become the best basketball player he could be, however it was not until years after that the seed truly sprouted to a solid flower, as Lebron is now one of the NBA’s premier players. At age 12 had he stopped playing due to a minor set back, or because his practices were too hard, or his skill level was not where he wanted it to be, then we would not see him today dominating the way that he does.
Don’t stop just because you may not see the results you were expecting to see right away. Anything worth having is going to take time to get. Be patient and realize that you will get there if you continue doing the little things. Striving for that goal day in and day out. You will be amazed with what kind of progress you make when you stay consistent.
Own yourself! Run your life!
