Why is it so hard to be patient?

"Patience is not waiting. It’s figuring out what you do in the meantime.”

                                        - Alex Hormozi

    This quote and way of thinking has been instrumental for me in real estate. 

    Realizing time goes by no matter what I do, I might as well be doing everything I can to progress, learn, and have tenants pay down debt. 

    Another thing he said that resonated was that "I thought I wasn't being patient, but all of my actions were those of a patient person". 

    Often times our thoughts and feelings about our actions do not match the reality of being consistent. Sometimes the way we FEEL does not actually match reality at all. 

    Not every small action feels like a win (a lot of times it can feel like a loss), but that doesn't mean it isn't an action moving us towards a goal.
