Spend some time if you want it to be good.
Good morning.
I don’t really know if it was a thing centuries ago (maybe it was), but I assume it’s a 21 century’s something. And here it is: people hate waiting. They want to see a final result immediately, as they started doing something. They hate to do one thing for a long time; they want everything to be quick and effective.
2 weeks diet that will take away unwanted fat forever! Quick way of learning how to draw like a Renaissance artist! Fast way of gaining 1000 subs on your Instagram!!! We need everything to be quick, we don’t have time to wait and enjoy the process, because we hate the process and all we need is something we get in the end!! Yey, profit!!
Here’s the thing: it doesn’t work like that. I’m sorry, but good things take good time. Any masterpiece, anything settled in your history forever wasn’t done by a 5-minutes tips video from YouTube, it wasn’t done fast and furious. Moreover, amazing things can’t become amazing if the process wasn’t. They’re all connected. Seriously, it’s just my personal opinion, but I do not believe that your body can look gorgeous if you only spent 2 weeks starving yourself, hating every moment.
I remember when I read Zoella’s first book (I haven’t read others, but it’s not the point), and I was like “why is this so shit”? And then I saw an article about this book being written by a ghost writer, and, again, I thought “STILL why this book is so shit??”. And then I read that this book was written in few months, a really limited amount of time, so it made a lot of sense to me. Because! you cannot do! something properly! without paying enough effort!, and effort = time.
Listen, I’m not trying to say that it’s impossible to become successful at anything without spending a decade on it. All I want is to people stop expecting good things in a short amount of time. Also, there’s this great thing about trying your best and spending as much time as possible, that if you did it but didn’t succeed, you can say “Well, at least I tried. And I know I couldn’t do better, so, I guess, it’s just not meant to be successful”. This is a kind of excuse that make you feel better, not those crappy ones, like blaming someone who gave you advice or blaming yourself for not suiting this thing.
Looking forward for spending as much time as I possibly can,
