Progress

Are you feeling frustrated by your lack of progress? Growth, man! It can be quite the mindfuck. You can feel so bad at something and, for all intents and purposes, you may very well be lousy at it, but because you are purposely pushing yourself into the unknown you are also simultaneously getting better. Getting better at what? Not letting fear control you. Not instantly stopping when resistance hits. Not waiting for complete certainty to act. So there you go! Please don’t give up. In the wise words of Hermann Hesse from his novel Siddhartha, “We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral; we have already climbed many steps.”
