Have you ever wondered how our digital age’s obsession with instant gratification is impacting our businesses, our goals, and our patience?
This week I take a quick look at the change technology has wrought and how it’s influencing our expectations in life and in biz. I share my philosophy on the concept of “active patience,” a practice that combines consistent efforts towards our goals while understanding that real success takes time.
I then share my absolute favourite metaphor — the story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree. Through it we learn that patience, when combined with consistent efforts, can reap enormous rewards. Tune in to this episode for a nuanced take on the importance of patience in our businesses and our lives. You will leave with a renewed understanding of the role patience plays in our success and how to incorporate ‘active patience’ into your work ethic.
Quotes:
“Where people go wrong with patience is thinking that they can chill right and their goals will eventually happen if they wait long enough.”
