Many in modern society are so addicted to immediate gratification they give up at the first sign of difficulty.

This is why you:
-Stop exercising after 2 weeks
-Give up when you relapse once
-Quit on a business when you don't make money immediately

You must have a vision beyond today.

You need to be able to see how your hard work now will pay off in the future.

You must also avoid giving up just because you cannot yet see the fruits of your labors.

2/
Things that are truly worth doing take time to see results.

There's no such thing as overnight success.

Some things may take off overnight, but I guarantee there were months of work leading up to it.

3/
It might seem like you’ll never get there.

You may feel like giving up.

You may feel like you’ve given everything you have to offer and have nothing to show for it.

But those moments are the moments where you must press on.

4/
If you give up at the first sign of difficulty,

you guarantee you will never reach your goals.

Learn to Think Like A Gardener.

A Gardener has vision beyond the immediate moment.

They need to imagine what the garden will look like a year, 2 years, and 10 years down the road.

They plant and organize accordingly so that it will best be able to grow into their vision

6/
A gardener knows they won’t see the true beauty of the garden until it has time to grow and mature.

You must plan your life the same way.

7/
Plan out what you want your life to look like years from now.

Then work backwards and do what you need to do today to ensure you create the life you envisioned.

8/
One day you’ll look back on the hard days and be glad that you pushed through.

You’ll have won the battle, and you’ll be better off having fought through the hardships to get there.

9/
Always think like a gardener.

Look beyond today at what your work will achieve tomorrow.
