Slow Progress Towards Your Goals Is Never A Reason To Give Up

- Does it occasionally feel you’re making great progress towards your goals while other times it appears that nothing is happening?
Don’t be discouraged by what you cannot see, because plans can come together at the drop of a hat.

"It only took me 20 years to become an overnight success" - Roger Miller.
"Start each day with a task completed." I like that.
Wonderful. As a struggling artist and aspiring game developer, studying hard and often being disappointed by the amount of progresss I make, this touched me, nearly made me cry and gave me strenght back.
Good luck, I hope you are doing well.

Without this video, I would have not forgiven myself and recall a quote a saw a few years ago. I've been procrastinating these past few days, doing little work per day, slowing my progress.
The quote is "You can rest but never give up."
Glad to hear you’re doing better but the quote is ‘Rest if you must, but don’t you quit”. From a famous poem
The reason for the correction is pls read the rest of them
Progress is progress. Just keep moving forward. As much as possible.
as an entrepreneur I frequently like to watch these videos, usually a couple videos everyday , just to keep my edge on, and I must say I think this is your best one so far!!! I've had the hardest time articulating this to other people who want instant results in an age of instant messaging and fast food, the long hard grind doesn't seem very appealing, yet to me it is the key to my success.
Great Point! Even though someone may be having slow progress towards our goals, that is never a reason to stop. It is actually the times where we feel like we're not making any progress where we're actually on the brink of massive Improvement.
I had woke up and saw this video’s notification. I’m glad I clicked it.
I needed this today.

Timely lesson for me...I recently decided to set a goal to improve my guitar playing to a level where I can comfortably play with others...I have played a bit on and off through the years but never steady enough to really improve...since July 1 of 2018 I have played/practiced some every day and have studied theory (or some form of instruction almost every day). Musical improvement tends to plateau and I find I need to occasionally step back and motivate myself or at least remind myself of my goal.
I am 60 years old by the way so I also have to overcome the occasional negative thoughts of “I am too old for this”...I have set a personal timeframe of 30 months to get there (long story on why 30 months).
As a by product of this goal I have positive results in the following areas: eliminated some time wasting habits, enjoy just listening to music more, established a stronger daily routine, started journaling my progress (and defeats), and generally feel good about working towards a goal....Am I better at guitar after 5 months? Definitely yes....am I close to my goal...not really at the level I have in my head but I still feel like it is doable....
One last thought...I am now a strong believer in a few minutes a day doing something is magical...
Good luck to all and keep working towards your dreams!
Mikey'58 I’m a professional musician and studio teacher and I love your story. Bravo!
All the important things, everything that matters, takes time. If something happens too fast, something is wrong. If a commercial promises you instant results, you need to be careful :) Excellent video. We need such concepts to spread.
this is super validating, it gives me hope that my efforts are not in vain.
Besides that, I now understand that we are only disappointed that we are making slow progress because of maybe the goal is too big! We need to set a specific small goal daily in order to succeed at the small parts bit by bit until it all accumulates daily!
Your channel is a gold mine.
Shree Nation Yes it is..! 🙂 I too felt the same way when I found this channel
i don't have the time to read all the books on this but this channel gives me all the key wisdom and principles in a short but clear visual way, ty so much for these vids, great content!
Same here. This channel also introduces me to books worth reading.
Success takes hustling, but belief takes growth. You can't have one without the other
The most underrated channel ever! You deserve more views and subs brother! Thank you for this! Cheers from the Philippines 🍻
Slow progress is certainly better than no progress! I lost ten pounds on low carb the first month, but haven‘t lost weight on the second. Which is fine, because I’ve learned you should have more than one metric to meaure progress. Was able to walk a little further with my dog today, and added strength training a week ago!
Wow. Didn't realize how low I was feeling until you motivated me. Thanks for that.
This showed up in my recommends exactly when I needed to see it the most. Thank you.
Slow progress towards your goals is a reason you should value your process more and your goals less. i.e. Smelling the flowers and appreciating the views on the way to the mountain top is often better experience than the mist shrouded mountain top itself.
This is my 4th consecutive video from your channel ... Thank you for sharing
Thank you...I was so ready to give up before I watched this video.
“Let each of us please his neighbor for his own good, to lift him up’-Romans 15:2
Encouragement is the external fuel for someone else’s fire, which in turn stokes your own 😉
I've been putting off cleaning the office for over 5 years because it felt overwhelming. I would do very little and it felt like it was never ending so I'd quit. I wanted to have a functional work space, but buying a drawing table and my bf, wanting a new office desk made me motivated enough to start the cleaning process once and for all last month. We bought the office desk and I am proud to say that, after a month of chipping small bits after small bits at it, I finally finished cleaning yesterday. :) It may seem insignificant to most people, but I am very proud of myself and the hard work I put on to accomplish this! It took a whole lot of motivation videos and will power, but I'm now motivated to accomplish even more stuff! Consistency is key and long term goals.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing the wisdom
These videos deadass be speaking to me
Patience and work🙂
Thank you for your page! I love it and reference it often. It has def made me a better leader!
Understanding what the goal in the first place is hard from my perspective. But I guess thats why it takes time to figure it out. Use intuition???
Brilliant i needed this today! My best wishes to you.
Thank you for this! I'm thankful for you. ❤️ Happy New Year!!! 🎉🎊✨🎉🎊✨
20 pull-ups per day?
Dude, you ARE stronger than most people!
That's a super video, just what I needed right now. It's so easy to get discouraged when you put a huge amount of work into something and don't feel you are making progress
Your videos are amazing! Well done!
Thanks for the motivation . this help me keep in my progress.
I Love your videos. It’s very inspiring keep it up
Great great great no words to appreciate.

Very nice! Thank you!
Great content 👍
Slow and steady wins the race.❤️
I needed this
Very Nice video. Thanks a lot
Bravo, Sir!
I sub to very few channels, but after watching about ten of your videos, it's long overdue.
Big thumbs up and subbed!
Hutch5321 Thanks. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Wonderful. Thanks.
What are the goals? This reminds me of my career, where I hustled my ass off without a specific purpose and then was in the right place at the right time with the right skills accomplished things I would not have envisioned at the start and then was happy with what came next. I am now retired. I have been learning and honing my skills without a definite goal. Perhaps it will happen again? That is the best feeling. On the other hand, there is something to be said with the acceptance that comes with getting older. It is surprising, but surveys in surveys of old people, they are often happy "just because."
coreycox2345 this is nice. Thank you for the wisdom.
Thank you for thanking me, Shawn Patel. If my sons find me wise, they don't mention it. It is true that these things look different to me than when I was young like you. Best wishes.
1st also your videos helped me pull out of a really hard time and I appreciate that
Amen to that!
Great video!
thank you 💙
Thanks, you make my day
As a guy with height of 162 cm . Which is really short to become a spiker in volleyball . But still very desperate for the position. This gives me hope .
love the content man! really inspiring! i hope you get more viral videos so more people find your channel 💪well, that's what all of us creators hope for, right? 😉
Thankyou
1. just fucking give
2. focus on the result, everyday
3. keep on improving, everyday
it's that simple!!!
Amazing....
great content thank you :)
Stopping equates to zero. This is quite literally infinitely less than the smallest of steps!
Amazing f🔑🔑king video !!!
I feel that my progress becomes slower and slower ... the first 5 years of my writing was fast and furious and mad (writing daily, at least 30 mintes)... and then I became... 'serious' and I am grinding my teeth for the last 3 years ...
The feeling when you already know how it works but struggle with applying it.
I suggest that you make a thumbnail that could catch watcher's attention so you can have more views.
what website or app do you use to create such awesome video ? great content by the way !
I've added a link to the software I use in the description for you
beautiful video but for some of us hope is way way gone
I wonder what software you use for these wonderful animations being shown in all your videos? Can someone share the name, please.
I've added a link to the software in the description for you
Wow
In my case… I’m making No Progress, same stuff different day… so, after a recent turn of events… and after a bombshell and some uncertainty…… my goals, are Not Meant To Be…
I ended up officially ending all that I do, to only answer to other things. Time to Accept Defeat, and Accept Reality.
At this point, I can’t take anymore Risks that won’t pay off - time to Move On, I can always fill in the shoes of someone else in another field…. While they thrive , besides… when it comes to Low Class areas… somebody’s gotta do it… I guess that’s me from now on.
everyone's journey is unique. while it might seem like you're not making progress, sometimes the growth is internal and not immediately visible. stay strong 💪
*Chin Ups*
😊 🙏
Well no one climb an Everest running.for me slow but sure is always a best policy
👍👍
the bamboo thing is not true at all
LIFE CREATES IN THE DARKNESS...
"Earned it", and "your right to persue to claim" are one in the same under this particular context.... Just saying.
"your progress is slow" is just another way of saying you are a faliling!!!
Ask people to work harder insted...
Im not arguing you but, this is like motivating people but in a wrong way...
Thats what i think.
Wonderful. As a struggling artist and aspiring game developer, studying hard and often being disappointed by the amount of progresss I make, this touched me, nearly made me cry and gave me strenght back.
