The thing that most of the people don’t seem to understand is that the glamour of a magnanimous success beautifully conceals the scars of an arduous journey, that they somehow become misty or lost in the roaring applaud.
Nothing comes easy. In the age of an instant gratification, where from food, movies to love is just one click away, ‘patience’ becomes a distant dream. It’s high time to understand that goals, relationships, health, career, and life as a whole pave a path of slow, meandering, messy journey, and don’t come with a lazy notification of an app that can be easily installed and removed in a snap of a finger.
Discipline demands time.
Confidence demands time.
Consistency demands time.
Efforts demand time.
Skills demand time.
Will demands time.
Success demands time.
It is not easy and in no way instant.
So, next time, when you see your friend building his castle on the highest peak, don’t congratulate him for his extravagant fame, instead appreciate his patience for choosing the right bricks.
When you were fantasizing about spanking hot babes on your cool weekends, I was spanking myself hard enough to get my shit done.
The pain of consistency is the sweetest.
