Change takes time

Change takes time

We want to improve our lives and we want to improve them fast.

So we chase after quick fixes.

Crash courses.

Fat loss supplements.

Get rich quick schemes.

Eight week transformations.

The results we get from such efforts, if any, are lost as quickly as they are obtained.

We find that such approaches aren’t sustainable in the long run.

We might find that they aren’t effective at all.

We try the long route.

Studying every day.

Eating well.

Living within our means.

Training consistently with a schedule that works for us.

Yet, we become impatient.

The progress is slow.

We want to quit so bad.

Because we want results now.

But success doesn’t happen immediately.

We have to stay the course.

Committed.

You didn't become who you are overnight.

You won't become who you want to be overnight.

Change takes time.

It takes patience.

Steady, consistent effort.

Forgiving yourself for taking longer than expected.

You will make mistakes.

You will, at times, regress to old patterns.

You will face challenges as you move forward.

That’s okay.

Keep showing up.

Keep putting in the work.

Keep moving forward.

It might not happen on your timeline.

It might not happen how you expect it to.

It will happen.

You will change.

You will grow.

You will move toward who you want to be.

You’ve got this.

What’s actually happening?

We often assign stories to what’s going on around us. These stories can have elaborate introductions, conclusions, and messages. Rarely, though, do we ask ourselves if these stories are helpful or eve...

What if we simply listened?

What if we simply listened?

Allowing others to open up to us can be a powerful tool for exchanging the gift of connection. So often, though, we're too focused on responding, controlling, or judging for any connection to form. We...

Life isn't always a problem to be solved

We often get stuck in patterns of problem solving. No matter what comes our way, we feel the need to do something. Sometimes, though, there's nothing for us to do. Life isn't always a problem to be so...

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Holding compassion for those we see as malicious, selfish, or otherwise unworthy may not feel right. Such characteristics, however, are often rooted in deep suffering or fear. Those we see as least wo...

Let your thoughts serve you

Let your thoughts serve you

Our thoughts make wonderful servants. They can be invaluable for reflection, forethought, and contemplation. When we accept them without question, though, we allow them to act as our masters. They can...

You'll never hate yourself into loving yourself

Make peace with your imperfection

Make peace with your imperfection

Striving for perfection is a futile effort. You've always made mistakes and you always will. Rather than carry the burden of a reality you refuse to accept, face those mistakes with kindness and compa...
