Gardeners, you understand if you garden, even if you've never gardened before in your entire life, you plant and you harvest.

Those are not the same season, right?

You cannot plant a apple seed today and expect that tomorrow's you'll get apples tomorrow.

No, it takes six to 10 years to go from seed to a tree that is bearing fruit, right?

And winners know this long before the fruit appears, right?

And that's where most people quit.

The time horizon for a winner is so much longer than an average person.

An average person thinks maybe in like days, weeks, maybe, maybe, if they're really thinking long-term, they might think months.

A real winner thinks in years and decades.

Great things take time to be built.

Think about how many people start going to a gym

And then they quit after three weeks because they don't see abs in the mirror.

Like how many people start a business and then they quit after six months because they aren't making six figures out and how many people will start healing themselves and meditating and journaling and going to therapy and listening to podcasts.

And then they quit because they don't feel completely different after a month they're trying to harvest.

when they should still be planting.

You get that?

The process simply has not had enough time to work.

And the truth is almost every meaningful thing in life operates on delayed gratification.

A healthy marriage, successful business, confidence, trust, making money, self-worth, all of those things take time.

The challenge is that we live in a world that has conditioned us for like instant gratification.
