The Path To Victory

"We talk about "victory" so much that we can miss the "path" it takes to get to victory"

In our society today we are fixated on something different than ever before, in my lifetime anyway. We not only want victory or success in life and our experiences we embark on but it has to be immediate for people to be happy.  Today it's more about an instant click, like, comment and a tweet. It's a problem but it almost seems we can't live without these socialmedia programs anymore and no one wants to even wait for you to email them any longer. That is considered snail mail communication.
The other day I decided to not respond to any text messages on purpose to try to have a quality day with my family, just one day without it. People (my dear friends and family) are so used to me texting immediately, that within the first 2 hours of my text fasting day, my IPhone was exploding of messages, pix, texts, Kik's and chats so much that I had to give in and alert a few people that I was indeed, "alive and well".
This can affect our goals. We are so used to fast, instant communication and literally information is at our gadget's touch of a finger's reach anymore that we get frustrated with our progress of these things that do take more time to accomplish. One being weight loss, or fitness, maybe eating better, healthier lifestyle or kicking a habit. These things are sometimes going to take weeks or months maybe even a year to really, truly see lasting change. Will you have learned the patience to go the distance?
My advice is to not concentrate so much on the end victory or goal to get to, rather, find small victories along the path to the main finish line to prize yourself with success. This will enable you to see small steps to the leaping end! In today's world we are trained to do it otherwise, so we have to slow down and appreciate the efforts we see now, stop hyper focusing on the speed of your life and getting frustrated with yourself and achieving those goals, instead,  enjoy the here and now, rewarding yourself along the path to victory!
