Instant gratification has had its influence on us, that’s for sure.
I believe it has most impacted how we view our work; rather, how we expect results so quickly.
It’s likely that what you’re doing isn’t working because you haven’t been doing it long enough.
You haven’t shown up day after day.
You haven’t kept your promises long after others expected you to stop.
Think of it like an arm wrestling challenge. You don’t have to have the endurance to go at it for hours, you merely need to hold out a second longer than the other guy.
When we work to shorten the time frame to results, it becomes a race to the bottom. No one wants to pay to watch a 2 second arm wrestle.
Stay Positive & Hang In There
