Leo Babauta talks about why you shouldn't expect quick results, but instead you need to tune in to an exhausting marathon run. If you want to excel at something, of course …
Trees that bloom late bring us the best fruits. Moliere
Whatever we do, we all want to get results as soon as possible.
Working on our body, we want to get the "cubes" of the press in 1-2 weeks of classes, and in a month look like Hugh Jackman. By mastering the basics of meditation, we hope to succeed in a week.
This is usually not possible. From my own experience, I was convinced that you need to wait for the results much longer than I would like.
So how long to wait for "cubes"? It depends on your body and training. It may take you months or even years. On average, about six months.
How long does it take to become a good writer? Many years.
How long does it take to master programming? I have no idea, personally I tried for several months, but I could not make a single application that works well.
Starting to do something, we imagine the future result, we hope to reach the maximum in a short period of time.
But these are only dreams. Perfection cannot be achieved instantly.
Having understood this, you need to tune in to a long work. How can we remain faithful to what we do for a long time and, in the end, achieve the desired result?
Stop thinking about the result all the time. It is better to pay all your attention to what you are doing at the moment.
Stop dreaming. Better start and then you will understand the beauty of what you are doing.
The pursuit of an ideal is not the best motivation. Focus on caring for yourself and helping others.
Don't aim for quick results. Enjoy the gradual change.
Do not try to make everything perfect, because the main task is self-knowledge.
The changes will not come immediately. You will understand what it means to make an effort. Each new stage will be enjoyable.
You will find that the game is worth the candle. And the result? It will not be what you imagined. It will be much better!
Perfection is achieved gradually; a masterpiece takes time. Voltaire
