Results take time

A river cuts through a rock, not because of its power but because of its persistence.

I love this because it reminds us that habits are powerful; the smallest daily habit in the right direction can make the biggest impact in our lives.

Moving for 10 minutes a day, drinking a glass of water as soon as you get up, going to bed 20 minutes earlier, spending 5 minutes on gratitude and prayer daily, having a protein shake and an apple a day—these may seem like small actions, but when repeated, they can build unshakable foundations.

I will say this over and over: RESULTS TAKE TIME!

You cannot microwave results; my results and your results will take different time frames. There is no quick fix, potion, lotion, pill, or surgery that will do what building the habit of persistence will. Don’t ever sacrifice your vision, values, and character for short-term gratification.

Today’s Reflection: What small habit can you start today that, with persistence, will create a lasting impact on your life? Take a moment to identify one and commit to it.
