When you don’t see the Progress you expect | Do this One thing

Step#1 Expectation

We all want positive and strong results that show we are progressing beautifully, don’t we? It’s healthy to desire to grow. It’s also encouraging to see progress.

It’s all beautiful when everything you put our hands to turn to gold. What happens when you do all the right things, you work so hard towards your dream but the progress is not as strong as you expect? There are seasons of life like that. Well, it can hurt. I know!

What do you do then? When the expected results don’t show up, you may never know how far they are. Your results may be around the corner.

Step#2 How things are going?

This is when you need to look into your heart to see how things are going. You want to remind yourself why you do what you do. What motivated you to get started? Maybe it fell into your lap or you made a big decision. Regardless, you need to find the right reason to keep going.

Step #3 What stirred your heart up?

Something stirred your heart up to get you started. What was it? Look into what is fueling your passion. Sometimes, we do things for the right reasons, other times it’s for the wrong reasons. Wrong reasons can be to impress others, to be like so-and-so in your circle of friends; the list can be endless.

What stirred up your passion? Good motives could be to change lives. It’s not the number of lives you touch that matters, it’s the difference you make.

I don’t know where you’re at during this season of your life but it’s important to find your why.

Your why will motivate you. When things don’t go as expected, go back to ‘why’ you do what you do and reflect on this.

Think about the transformation you bring to people’s lives.

Wrapping up

Once you drill into your why to have a sneak peek at why you do what you do, you remind yourself what motivates you towards your progress. If you have the wrong motive, deal with it. You know you need to direct your choice towards something for the right reason.

If you find you have the right motive, keep doing the right thing till you see the progress. Be consistent. Dare to get any help you need to speed up your progress but if you know you are doing all that you can, hang in there, full of gratitude and confidence you have a cause to live for.
