Patience?!

Patience. A word that we heard as kids. A word we still hear, but haven't grown to like any better. For most adults, it's a just a word. In our instant gratification worlds patience is something we rarely really feel the full weight of, but it still has influence over us. A buddy of mine is in the process of losing 40 pounds he's doing it the right way. He's lost about 27 so far and has another 13 to go. He's shedding about 2 to 3 pounds per week, so that means he'll be at his diet for another couple months. It's a (relatively) slow, methodical, day in and day out process. It's a choice he makes every day, every meal, every snack. It's the same for folks who walk into my local Krav Maga Academy. Learning takes patience, because it takes time. You have to learn to enjoy the process, because it IS a process. The same holds true for learning anything. HOWEVER... Just because time is passing doesn't mean you're improving. Compare these
