Do you realize too often your thoughts are consumed with how little progress you are making? Why? Real progress will come at the pace at which can you give yourself fully and sincerely to the effort.
Understand pushing yourself too hard sends an unspoken yet powerful message that you lack confidence in your efforts. Instead of forcing your efforts, seek to simply let each one flow from you.
Beginning today there is no need to despair or to work yourself up over the progress you are making. Why? Life already has enough pressure. There is no need to add more by pressuring yourself.
