Make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks

Having patience and finding your way step by step, is the right path to success. That is something that became clear to me the last week. When you have a goal, it is sometimes frustrating to take longer than you expected. Despair takes over. You had a certain date in mind to eg achieve your weightloss goal or to make promotion. Or you have been in relationship therapy for weeks and you still want to apply for the divorce. You started a new business / blog / something else and the first customers or readers are not apearing. Or, as in my case at this moment: you get a puppy who refuses to sleep in his crate. But despair and frustration do not bring you any step closer, on the contrary. Do not be discouraged by adversity, but focus on the small successes you achieved meanwhile. Having patience does not mean you just sit and wait, but that you keep the right attitude as long as you have not reached your goal. So stay focused. Step by step, victory after victory. Even though you sometimes take a step back, you are still further than when you started. And you can learn from every setback, so you build on your own success story. 💪 This photo was taken in Portugal. If we had rushed to put up the last stone, the tower would have collapsed.
