Grow slowly

Did you know there are great professionals who would have continued enjoying what they did if only they didn’t have instant success in the beginning? Their instant success destroyed their motivation, focus or brought pride that always proceeds a fall. Then this leads us to some basic wisdom. Enjoy the hardships of your growth — the rejections from publishers, the prospects who don’t return phone calls or e-mail messages, the challenges of lacking the resources you need to get to the next level or the less than spectacular results you are getting from your weight loss efforts. The dues of hardship that you pay in your learning process might largely be the parameters that will prevent you from “social death,” instant success. [source]
