Be not afraid of going slowly; be afraid only of standing still.

The other morning as I was reading through my emails, I received this “Healthy Reflection” from Spark People. I just felt compelled to share this with everyone. So many people will give up because something they want is not happening fast enough, whether it’s losing weight or growing your business. It’s not going to happen overnight. It’s going to take time. And like the Chinese Proverb says, you should be concerned if your not moving forward at all.
Never giving up
Do you ever get frustrated because things are moving too slowly in your life? Many people don’t realize that building a foundation for success does not happen overnight. It is a slow process in which you are constantly working and learning. After all, that foundation must remain strong, even in times of failure or crisis. This takes time! You may have to remind yourself that “failing” is only failure if you quit; otherwise it’s a learning opportunity. So don’t worry if your life seems to be moving in slow motion. Concentrate on building a solid foundation and learning from your back steps.
