1 IDEA FROM ME 

Ever heard of the saying "Patience is a virtue"? That maybe true but it only becomes important when you know exactly what you need to be doing.

For anyone to be successful they need to be able to employ some form of strategy. In other words they must have an approach towards how they will achieve success.

This includes understanding:

1. Why something is being done
2. What needs to be done and
3. How it will be done

Following a strategy, comes a plan i.e. the day-to-day activities that supports the success and benefits realization of your strategy, in addition to, knowing whether you are achieving your success metrics.

So I ask you, for your personal and professional endeavours:

What is your strategy...?

What is your plan...?

Aim not to complain if you have no intentions set for key areas of your life...

...This is potentially the reason why you are not patient... You possibly have no real context...

1 QUOTE FROM ME 

“Do today what others won't and achieve tomorrow what others can't.” - Jerry Rice

This is fitting for the idea I presented above. Consistency, patience and systems thinking is what will help you WIN. Only you can decide this, not time.
