It Takes Time

E009

“No great thing is created suddenly.” – Epictetus

In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:

We expect instant results, so we overestimate what we can do in a day, and underestimate what we can do in a year. But the journey to greatness is usually characterized by incremental progress, occasional setbacks, small victories, and countless hours of hard work and dedication. It is a journey fraught with challenges, and moments of doubt, yet it is also a journey filled with moments of triumph, growth, and self-discovery.
