It takes time…….

Sometimes we forget that it takes time. It takes time to build anything. Having said that, of course, some things take longer than others. It is vital that in your Wealthy Affiliate (WA) journey you remember this ..i.e. it will take time before your efforts will bear fruit. Some have taken shorter time whereas others have taken a longer time. It all boils down to the sum of experiences that each individual has gone through that has prepared them for the journey at WA. Everyone wants to achieve their dreams overnight. But ask the tennis champion how he got there and he will tell you the time it took for him to master the different strokes that made him a champion. Ask the marathon winner on what he did to win the marathon he or she will tell you the mornings and the late evenings he spent running and honing his body to achieve the trophy. Sometimes we read how others have achieved what they have at WA and not realize the time and effort they had put in to reach that point.

This is the order of nature. A tree takes the time to grow and at a certain point, it bears fruit. It needed that time. Some trees bear fruit faster than others. We live in a world of “instants” and this has programmed us to be impatient. Let’s not forget the basic of success. It comes with hard work and patience. You will need to see it through. You will have to stick to it long enough to see it bear fruit. Every car runs out fuel but you can refuel and get going. We can lose steam in our endeavour but we can always refuel, reenergize and get going again.

Quote from Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
