Today we did the garden. It was a lot of work and had to get rid of a lot of weeds that dried out from the winter. We also planted some vegetables that MrS got for a birthday present and we hope we can eat from the ground!

Some thing I have been analysing from the start of the year is how fustrated I get when plants don't produce the outcomes after months of caring for them. I am a succulent lover and learning to be an all around plant mom (not just succulents) and I would find myself staring at a succulent for a good minute and wonder why it's not progressing week in and week out.

Then I realized this is what many people are going through, myself included. I won't speak for them, I will for myself. For the longest time in my life I would absorb information, do the right steps and then give up and wonder why I feel so stuck! There are many times that I have found myself in that situation now I'm putting the same fustrations on a simple plant!

One thing I found out is that the only way we can be consistent with anything, weight loss, spiritual life, reading, parenting, work ethic, anything is that we have to be consistent with what we do. The reason why most of my succulents are still alive is that I repeatedly kept caring for them. Even at the point I saw that they are dying. I would move them around from different spots around my house to find the best sun/shade conditions. I would water them as frequent (although succulents don't like too much water) as I can. I would grab some eggshels and tea bags to nourish them because I am not ready to invest in plant food (broke plant mom lol).

The consistency comes with love and patience. The conistency will give you character TO love and TO be patient. I don't think anyone can withstand doing online business for a single day because this is a marathon and not a sprint. Thats why many will lose patience but endurance is what we are here for.

I'm writing to teach myself to produce some kind of consistency but I'm also writing because like many people here,I once googled and out of fustration, I found out anyone who claims "FAST" and "NOW" really won't last long in the online business. It's the patient, and the consistent who will. So to those like me who are willing to wait, please do not lose heart. Keep producing quality content and surely the income will follow, not immediately but soon enough.

I hope someone reads this and is motivated and to push through.
