Instant gratification is everyone’s issue.

The outcomes you’re getting in life are a product of the collective and continuous effort you’ve put in. What you’ve done, or not done, over time has had a much greater impact than any momentary heroic effort.

While the world operates on cause and effect, it’s not always immediate. Most things of value require continuous extended effort to acquire and there’s an indefinite waiting period before results show up.

Work while you wait. Not only will it increase your odds of success and accelerate your timeline, but it will deliver unexpected value along the way.

Patience doesn’t mean passively waiting for a result to show up. Patience is not passive. Put in more effort, apply more pressure while being patient for it to pay off.

Embrace the chase. Do the work.
