Overnight Successes Are Rare
The roller coaster is my life; life is a fast, dizzying game, life is a parachute jump; it’s taking chances, falling over and getting up again; it’s mountaineering; it’s wanting to get to the very top of yourself and to feel angry and dissatisfied when you don’t manage it. From Eleven Minutes. Paulo Coelho.
Life, indeed, is a roller coaster. It’s complicated and messy. It is determined, in large measure, by the choices you make, and more importantly, why you make them.
Whatever you’re up to, almost without fail, it takes longer than you expect.
Life, indeed, is a roller coaster that’s true, but it can be the way you want to make it if you hold on to the vision, if you don’t let fear and self doubt keep you from taking the action you need to take. To do the thing that you know is holding you back.
There are no quick fixes, and rarely are overnight successes are rare.
