Patience

The post that you have all been waiting for, right?! Thank you for your patience!

In the grand pursuit of excellence and greatness, there is no such thing as "overnight success." If there is, it has no foundation to stand the test of time. With that being said it is mandatory to have patience in achieving your goals.

"Good things come to those who wait."

But before we get carried away with that philosophy, let's recognize a staunch difference between waiting and having patience. In all honesty, I once thought of patience as an ability to tolerate delayed outcomes, but that isn't fully accurate. There exist some truth in that statement, but that is not patience in it's entirety. As I grow older I begin to understand the old worn out saying, "Life is short." I have always been a man of many goals but all too often overwhelmed myself with too many different directions or was not satisfied because I has failing to see the results at the rate at which I desired. I was constantly shifting from one ambition to another without giving any real time for things to develop. I would work out steady for about 2 months and then been surprised I didn't look a Wakandan warrior of the beloved film "Black Panther".

It was only when I began to view some of my peers who I had deemed "successful" who had been on there consistently working on there craft over the years and then finally were hitting there big break. To some it might look like any overnight sensation, but when I got the chance to speak with the young entrepreneurs, it was a craft that was being developed for many moons.

These young successful entrepreneurs weren't hitting success because they were waiting to be noticed. It was due to the perpetual pursuit of their goals in which they endured through storm of time.

Again, patience is not waiting. It is moving forward through the roadblocks even when you don't see that instant increase in progress. It's seeing the progress almost hit a halt but you still persevering through the "failures"; It's continuing to move forward even when you don't have 100% certainty; It's being able to see the unseen. Steady the course grinders. Greatness is coming soon!!
