Slow and Steady, Wins

Finish Line
Post Written By Eugene Morgan

It takes time to learn something new. It’s important to learn the basic of what we’re trying to do. Most of us want to learn things quickly. But there are some things that are difficult to learn. And time is necessary to learn whatever it is as well.

It’s usually at the beginning of learning that things are slow. If we just were a bit patient with ourselves, then maybe we can avoid many of the mistakes in the long run. We will make some mistakes because it’s a part of learning something new. And if we work towards our goals in a steady fashion we will get to the finish line.

Some of us give up on our goals or projects not only because it’s difficult, but also because of the lack of patience to learn what we need to do to get to the end.  Patience is important because it helps us to meet our goals. Consistency is another important element to carry out our goals.  If we work consistently on a project, the possibility is greater each time we work on it that we will succeed.

Starting Small and Nurturing Growth

When learning or taking on a major project, start small.  Starting small makes things simpler and easier to complete. When we do a bit at a time on a project, we’re nurturing it.

While we’re nurturing the project into fruition, we’re learning as we’re going along. A good strategist finds ways to stimulate growth into a project.

For example, for a plant to grow and stay healthy, we must do certain things to stimulate growth, such as having good soil, water and sun depending on the kind of plant it is.

I have a plant called “a mother of a thousand plants” that I had in my office that grew from seeds without sunlight for a year. Since I didn’t have any windows in my office, I used a lamp.

Surprisingly enough, the small plants started to grow, however, slow. After a year of growth, I decided to take the plants home, placed them into a larger pot near a window for sun exposure, and watered them daily. And surely enough, they started to grow even faster than before.

This is one way of attending to our projects!
