Patience is a Virtue
The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit. Yes, you have planted the seed already. Now is the time to nurture the plant. Water the plant, fertilize the plant, weed the plant, prune the plant…give it your all. The time for fruition is bound to come when you will start harvesting the fruit of your hard work.
Be patient as you grow your business. Do not take short cuts, for short cuts are always wrong cuts. A house build without a strong foundation is bound to collapse at the slightest storm. You do not wish this to happen to your business as this is a lifelong investment. “Hurry hurry has no blessing”.
Remember to be humble. Sometimes when things are going on smoothly and you seem to be a little ahead of your peers it can be a little hard to stay humble. This is not a race, everyone is entitled to run at their own pace. If you are ahead of others, give a helping hand by pulling the one behind you. Success is sweeter when achieved by the many. The more the merrier…
When things get a little hard, learn to rest but never quit. When you quit, you are giving up on your dream. It is your dream to achieve, no one is going to run the race for you. When you take a break you are giving yourself time to rebuild and regain your strength. You can only proceed with more energy and fresher ideas.
Keep moving forward and know that all the hard work you are putting in will one day produce the results you are looking for. It may take a few weeks, a few months or even a few years but what is yours will surely find you in the ripeness of time, in your own timeline. Run if you can, walk if you will, crawl if you must but keep moving forward.
Do not compare your chapter one to someone’s chapter ten. Move within your timeline and focus on your specific goal. Be patient, your time is coming and when the time comes no one can stop it. Watch the fruit of your hard work ripen then start reaping the rewards.
Above all, DO NOT GIVE UP!

Yes, persistentnce is a virtue. Yet, balance is the sign of good health. That's what Chinese Medicine teaches us.
Awesome post! You're right! Great analogy this is like planting a seed and trying to grow a beautiful garden, which doesn’t happen overnight.
I really appreciate the reminder, inspiration, and motivation. I won’t give but I have been resting when I get frustrated so, I definitely agree that rest is needed when it gets too tough.
Thanks for sharing....to your continued success
