When we are teaching another to learn something patience is critical to the learning process for both parties. However, when we put up with or even create needless dealys in our processes we prevent ourselves from achieving our most inspiring goals.
"Only the curious will learn and only the resolute overcome the obstacles to learning. The quest quotient has always excited me more than the intelligent quotient." Eugene S. Wilson
"Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solved each problem as they come to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They kept going regardless of the obstacles they met." Clement Stone
Eliminate delay by having a plan for the achievement of your goal. Tolerations will delay you from taking the next step in the process. When you find yourself stuck, unable to move toward your most inspiring goal, stop and examine what is causing the delay. Do not be patient and wait for "whatever it is" to move along; get curious. What is causing your delay? Is it something within you or outside of you? Is it a poor habit or undeveloped skill? Is it fear of what could be coming up next? Be honest.
Eliminate delay by breaking your plan down into actionable steps. At times we delay because the next step is too big. Examine the next step, is there a way to break this down into two steps? For example, if your next step is to hire an event planner. Maybe you need an intermediate step of interviewing event planners.
In order to keep moving you need to know what is causing the delay and take the necessary steps to work through it.
