It’s not a bucket
Filling up a bucket might not be fast or easy, but you can easily measure your progress. Patience isn’t difficult, because you can see it getting filled.
Most of what’s important to us, though, doesn’t show itself this way.
Drip by drip is how we build things, but we can’t see it. One more “no,” one more failure, one more lesson learned.
It’s not a bucket, but it is a journey.
