I asked Gemini how long it would’ve taken me to achieve my goals if I didn’t study so much during covid. If I still had the pressures of normal day to day work and was as social as I was. Here’s the entire generated research paper if you’re curious. But the consensus, is that the goal I achieved in 2 years, would’ve taken me closer to 6 years. That’s a whole 4 years after. That’s without considering if you’re by nature a lazy person or someone who procrastinates. When I factored that in, Gemini spat out an insane number. Something like 17 years! The point is, that things can take a long time to achieve. Working on something isn’t so linear. Yes, we need to put consistent effort in, but we shouldn’t have the social stigma that it takes one or two years. I was listening to a podcast with Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty, and Jay Shetty said “There is no seed that will bloom the next day.” I loved this quote because it helped me understand that things take time. And sometimes we even need to plant the seed and wait for the right season to see flowers bloom. So take your time. It’ll be okay. You got this.
