Taking Time
~Epictetus~
It takes time to build a relationship, a career, a house. If we try to speed the process up, we're likely to become frustrated. Worse, we may build something that is less than what we had hoped for.
As I put together the pieces of my life, I recognize that I cannot - and should not - hurry the important things. I want whatever I build to be sturdy and long-lasting.
My thoughts: This is so, so important to remember! It's not good to become discouraged when it doesn't all come together in one piece at one time. The greatest things in life will take a long time to build. This reminds me of a Will Smith quote. He said, "Don't set out to build a wall. You don't start there. Instead, say, I'm going to lay this one brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. If you do that every day, pretty soon you have a wall." Don't be afraid to come back to something the next day! But right now is GO TIME! Go lay your brick today! :D Have an amazing day! :D
