It takes time to create excellence. If it could be done quickly, more people would do it.
John Wooden
This is so true and really hit home for me today. In today’s society, we have a mentality of “I want it and I want it now” … or a “wicrowave society” … And because of how people have been brought up, a lot of people expect immediate results or that they shouldn’t have to work for what they want.
The problem is that if something is worth it, you work for it! And sometimes it takes longer to achieve the results you want. Whether it be weight loss, obtaining an income goal from your business(es) or whatever it is you’re taking strides to accomplish …
But most people (average people) give up before they hit gold! Which is why if excellence were easy and can be done quickly, then more people would do it and achieve success in every area.
But that’s just not how success (or excellence) works.

Do no pray for easy lives … Pray to be stronger men.
John F Kennedy
Again – if you want something, you work for it! There is beauty in the struggle. And you learn more from the hardships you encounter that better equip you for future struggles … for life … and the inevitable obstacles that will occur when you strive for success in any area of life!

When one door closes, another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.
Alexander Graham Bell
We are meant to go from glory to glory, and all too often when we lose or out-grow previous glories, we tend to try to hang on for dear life. And in doing so, we generally do not open ourselves up to the new opportunities and amazing things that are eagerly awaiting us to take control and move into our successful futures!
That relationship with an ex who promised to be there for you always but now never talks to you unless they want something? Why hold on to that?
That old job that screwed you over and you’re bitter about because they treated you badly and you hated working there? It’s done! It’s over! What can they do to you know? Forgive and let go – focus on what you could have done better and improve yourself! A new and better opportunity is waiting for you …

Great quotes Kassandra!
Most people in the world think that they are entitled to success, but very few actually are willing to work at it by staying teachable and learning how to do it
So true, Mark! Glad you’re not one of the average. 😉
Love number 3. It’s so true. We dwell for so long on this one that we miss or let go of opportunities that God could’ve had knocking for our purpose.
