People are impatient.
Almost always they expect immediate changes.
I for one, have heard many of these words in my sessions...or even in my 30 years of life on earth - people seemed to have a perception that change should be immediate.
"You have not changed one bit!"
"I have not changed"
"Not enough...I could not reach my target"
"No, you are repeating your mistakes. Changes are too slow on your part"
Perhaps, technology did play its part in "spoiling" mankind. Everything is quick, fast, and instant. Wait becomes a pain, a setback....no wonder we see more and more children with attentional issues (disclaimer: the writer has no backing of valid data. Just a random comment out of daily observations). Everything is about instant gratification! Bleh.
I wish sometimes, human would be more patient. With others, and with themselves.
Having said that, this is also for myself.
That change, does not happen over night. Or even in a month or a year for that matter. Come to think of it, we have been living the way we lived for the past 10, 20 or 30 years? Why do we think that change could be done overnight?
How do we "undo" a wrong that has been done for the past 50 years within just the span of 5, 10 years?
Awareness is key. And then efforts toward those change, should not be taken lightly. In fact, it should be encouraged. We would get there slowly, but surely.
If we want change, we got to be patient.
And got to give credit where credit is due. Do not discount effort. Do not just focus on the results. Life is more than just results. The process matters :)
Trust the process.
Respect the process
Don't hurt its "feelings!"
Because when we do not appreciate the process, we do not see progress. And that is being unfair, isn't it?
This, also serves as a note to myself.
