I don’t remember seeing it on a back of Wheaties. I can’t recall seeing it printed on an inspirational poster. But why do we buy into the idea that we have to be “with it” within 4-6 months? Does personal development really mean you have to be an expert at whatever within a certain timeframe?

I would like to suggest that isn’t the case. A person who is good at their profession took time. Time indicates expertise. Are there exceptions to the rule? Of course! There are those who are gifted for a specific process, and there are others who see the process as needing tweaking.

Whether it’s 2 days, 2 months, or 2 years. No one is putting a timeframe on your development but you. If you feel discouraged because you thought you’d be farther along, don’t fret. If you feel like the development process is taking FOREVER, fear not. Harvests don’t happen overnight, give yourself time to grow.
