It is easier to tell others
But when it’s our turn to be patient, we realize how hard it actually is.
Whether you are waiting for your turn in a line or hoping for your work to turn into fruitful results, controlling your frustration is the tough part.
Every moment seems like an eternity and when the clock ticks reach your ears but you don’t see any results showing up, the thought of failure eats you alive.

You start getting stressed and overthink about the future. The usual things that you do in your daily lives can’t distract your mind in those times.
And after a certain period, you lose interest because of zero results. Stop trying, that does not necessarily mean you quit.
You just moved on to try something new.
I am like this, though my patience spans from 3 to 6 months. Then off to something new.
But what if you get some results?
Maybe not the one you are hoping for, but a tiny portion of it.
Would you continue or quit?
When I started here, everything was nil, then things started getting better, like my first paycheck, increased views and reads. But then all of it went to hell.
Now my income is a couple of cents.
I was patient and eventually, it gave results even if it was for a short while.
I learned that it is harder to maintain our work ethic when there are no results.
The same thing is happening with my YouTube. For the first week or so, no views, no subscribers, nothing.
But I had learned to be patient from here so I kept on uploading, and now when I check views after waking up, it is around 70 or 100.
For a new YouTuber, I think it is great.
Now, I not only write here but also upload videos on YouTube and handle multiple social media accounts.
So all I want to say to you guys is if you have a hard time being patient then don’t work on one thing, work on multiple things.
In that way, you will be able to successfully distract your mind and time will pass.
Because at times like this, if you work on only one thing, you won’t be able to control yourself and always check for results every minute, because, for you, that minute is a long time.

And when you will see nothing changed, you will feel hopeless.
But if you keep on working on multiple things your mind will be too busy to think about what work will give what results, and it will stay in an illusion that everything is alright.
When you are in your struggling stage this trick is the best way to be patient.
Thank you for staying until the end!
