Instant gratification. We are so spoiled in many aspects of our lives where we get immediate results. However, many of the best things in life that we desire are not instantaneous, like a challenging goal. You have to continue to work at a goal before you can reach it. You have to put in a little effort each day. Then, before you know it, it has happened, quite suddenly. However, it’s not sudden because you had gradually been putting the work in. You may not have even noticed once you reach it!
Apply this theory to your lofty goals. Whenever you set out to accomplish something, give yourself a break and just take it day by day. The most successful person gradually worked hard each day until, suddenly they were a ROCKSTAR.
For instance, you may be eating healthier each day, until you have lost that extra weight. For instance, you may be adding in short quick workouts each day, until your body is a muscled masterpiece. For instance, you may be praying more each day, until you’re completely relying on the Lord. For instance, you may be learning a couple vocabulary words each day, until you’re a walking dictionary.
What I’m trying to say is do not be frightened at a distant goal. Take it day by day and you will naturally begin to move in that desired direction. People and circumstances do not change over night!
