WISDOM

Almost everyone falls into this trap.  Be aware!

People tend to overestimate what they can accomplish in the short run 

and 

underestimate what they can accomplish in the long run.  

The short run is an hour, a day, a week, a season.  Some things are just hard.  Don't get discouraged because everything doesn't happen quickly.  Don't restrict your goals to short time-limits.  Persist!  Keep at it!  You CAN do it!

... and, don't forget that I love you.
