Slow growth is still growth.
This is not an excuse for laziness, a justification, a “*pat, pat* ‘it’s ok!'” but rather, a quiet whispering encouragement when I’m SO fed up that where I am now is so far from where I want to be. Those days when looking at “inspiration” becomes a self-deprecation session and a pity party because they all look SO good, and they are all doing SO well, and then there’s me. What am I doing wrong? What am I not doing enough of? What do I need to change?
Slow growth is still growth.
So on days like that, days like today (or weeks, or months…), I’m diving into the archives so I can compare where I started to where I am now. To remind myself that though it has taken a long time to get to where I am now, I got here. I have grown. I am growing.
Slow growth is still growth.
Just keep working at it. Keep investing. Keep learning. Keep trudging forward. One small, slow step at a time. Even when it seems like everyone else is sprinting. Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle (John Kendall). You ARE going to grow. You WILL get there.
