Big Things Take Long Time to Make Happen

 Reaching significant goals requires time and dedication.

Imagine it as filling a large jar with water. Each day, you add a little water, but the jar is so deep that you can't see the water level rise. You might compare yourself to others whose jars seem full and feel demotivated, not realizing your jar is much larger. However, as you persistently pour water, one day, you notice it's nearing the top, and your confidence grows. Motivated, you keep pouring until it overflows.

The person you are today reflects years of hard work, time, energy, and experiences. Are you content with where you stand now?

Now, envision who you want to become in the next 10 years. Does it excite you? Should you aim even higher? Are you clear on what steps to take today to reach that future self?

However, it's not always straightforward due to three reasons:

1. Sometimes, the goal isn't clear. With numerous jars to fill, which one truly matters to you? Are you filling a jar based on others' expectations or your own desires?
2. You might not know how to reach your goal. Using a spoon when a bucket is needed may lead to never filling it up.
3. Even when your goal and path are clear, it can be tough to stay committed when you don't see quick progress and aren't sure if your efforts are paying off. You must keep filling the jar, even when the water level isn't rising, and others are celebrating their overflowing jars.
