We live in an instant gratification culture. We want what we want when we want it. But the best things in life are hard-wrought. They require extreme patience. Stop resisting this truth. Stop trying to rush results. And disengage from the overnight-success fantasy. Along the way, rejoice in the struggle. Embrace the tears. And celebrate the missteps. Because the true value of your life is found not in your accomplishments, but rather in the long, hard path trodden to achieve them. It’s found in the fullness of your heart, and the bonds formed with others.
