In this day and
age we have become very impatient people.
I should know because patience is a serious weakness of mine. We are impatient in lines at the grocery
store and in traffic (Traffic is the most difficult for me.) We are impatient with doctors healing our
illnesses and lawyers solving our problems.
On a bigger picture level, we are impatient to achieve, to achieve our
goals and achieve our definitions of success.
We are focused on the destination and the outcome, not the journey or
preparation. Consider this quote…
“Spectacular
achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation”
Robert H.
Schuller
The problem is
that we do not want to spend the time it takes in preparation to achieve. It does not matter what you want to achieve,
it will require preparation. Whether it
is financial success, good grades or athletic prowess, you have to be willing
to devote not so glamorous hours and hours of preparation. Preparation may not be fun, but the rewards
of achievement can be spectacular! Try
not to be so impatient.
