You often don't feel like you're growing while it's happening.
The incremental changes and the daily struggles make it seem like you're stuck. Life feels like it has plateaued. But the truth is, you're making progress, even if it doesn't feel like it.
I know this firsthand. I’ve banged my head against the wall for stuff that bore no fruit, only scars and a bloodied face. But a watershed moment always follows. Something changes. A fresh challenge comes along. And suddenly I'm reminded of just how far I've come.
It's easy to underestimate our progress. It's easy to think we're not making the strides we should be. But the truth is, we're growing, we're learning, and we're getting better with each passing day. And when you take the time to pause and reflect, you might appreciate the progress you’ve made.
