“It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.” ~ Confucius
When things are going slowly, it’s tempting to just give up and forget about it. You may think “what’s the point?” and make any progress grind to a halt.
I often woe the fact that I’m not making as much progress in my goals as I would like. There never seems to be enough time or enough energy to get where I want to go. I often wonder if it’s worth the trouble. Maybe I should just resign myself to working at a “normal” job for the rest of my life. I’d be a whole lot less stressed!
That being said, it’s nice to have a reminder that even if I’m taking itty bitty tiny baby steps, at least I’m moving in the right direction. It might take me a while to get there — but I’ll get there. My dreams may seem really far away, but every day they get closer. And one of these days, I’ll be able to look back and appreciate the fact that I didn’t give up.
Giving up may be easier. It may seem less stressful or more worthwhile. But there’s a reason we started on this journey. And one day we’ll reach our goals. One day it’ll all have been worth it.
