This very well might be the biggest hurdle to overcome. The idea that we must do something only if the results are immediate can be so toxic, that is hard for me to describe it without sounding offensive.
I decided to use a somewhat comical image for this post, because truth be told this is a bit funny. If we are trying to learn, if we are trying to grow, one of the things we need to learn is to be patient, and if we start from that point, we can't hold on to irrational ideas.
I do understand how we got to this point, as a matter of fact it makes sense that we did. We currently live in a system of immediate gratification. You want to know something, you google it. You want to go see a movie, you stream it. So when we are met with problems that require work to find the solutions, and not only that time, for the solutions to take root. We think subconsciously that something is not right.
I guess my reflection today is exactly this lie, this idea that we would do best if we eliminated from our minds. Not everything needs to be immediate, most things that are valuable are not, most things that are powerful are not, most things that you will accomplish that will be memorable will not be immediate results.
Believe it or not, that.... is the good news.
