When you are driven and working hard to turn your inspiring ideas into stories of success, the mere notion of waiting for things to fall in place cane be disheartening at times. That’s when you need to trust in the remarkable power of virtue of patience, and keep working hard.
Long-lasting and well earned success trumps instant gratification that fades away quickly.
Whether you’re waiting for the perfect job, the profitable business or the results of good habits to show up, the hundreds of hours of effort and the wait will be worth it in the end.
Here are 10 wise quotes to reinforce your will and remind you that good things take time:
