A Wren Says

At some point, I came across someone on the internet mentioning change happens not at all, and then slowly, and then all of a sudden. The moment I remembered those words, I was able to reground in the efforts that I’m making to try and change my life.

Things are hard right now. It looks like nothing is happening. You feel like all of your efforts are pointless and are of no use. You want to quit, because it feels like this is just a worthless waste of time. Don’t.

And now it feels like change is happening. But it is at such a glacial pace, that again it seems like it isn’t even worth your effort. You are putting in so much work and getting barely anything in return. You want to stop, because this pain doesn’t seem to be offering much reward. Don’t.

And finally, before you know it, you will arrive. You will look at your current state and find it hard to believe where you started from. You don’t know when it happened, but you made it. It feels like it happened in an instant, but it was happening all along, all because you didn’t quit.

Change happens not at all, and then slowly, and suddenly, but only if you keep going. Don’t stop now.
