Are your goals taking too long? Take heart.

For years I’ve been staring at our walls thinking about how much they need an update. The wallpaper border and blue were becoming outdated.
We also have been feeling like the flow of the rooms felt wonky. It’s been so long of thinking about making changes, but we finally decided to just get a start on it!
In the past few weeks I’ve become annoyed with how long things are taking. I dislike living in the messy middle. Why can’t things move themselves and why does this take so many coats??? It’s such a process.
As I was painting, I had an a-ha moment!
This is so similar to our fitness journeys and even entrepreneurship.
We live in a society where we are ticked off that Amazon prime now takes longer than 2 days.
We want avocados so we do Instacart, and then if we get one too ripe we are mad at the shopper. Yet, we forget about the miracle it took to get it to us! Many years ago we would have to: find the right time to plant, plant, nurture and let them grow, harvest, etc… Now we can order cados from our toilet.
It’s no wonder we get 2 months into our fitness journey or building and business and so many of us quit because we feel like we should have “arrived” sooner. If we don’t quit, we either try something else and end up quitting that, or we try a quick fix that “works” until it absolutely doesn’t.
If you’re on a journey: STAY THE COURSE.
It’s going to take time. Yet, if you keep taking action on the healthy habits, grow, fall down 10 times and get up 11, it will 100% happen.
You just need to give it more time.
Promise!!
And yes, I’ll be telling myself this as I watching the paint dry.
xo, Daisy
