"No great thing is created suddenly" - Epictetus
As the old adage goes, 'good things come to those who wait'.
This talks to the importance of patience.
The important part it plays to attaining something which is truly remarkable.
However, this is only one part of the 'formula'.
You need a goal; something to aim towards and provide guidance.
You need perseverance; the ability to keep moving forward, no matter what.
You need trust; in yourself, your ability, and your own character to reach the end goal.
Patience ties this all together.
Knowing that the destination you've set out to reach is a place of greatness.
Knowing that to reach such a destination involves a long, challenging journey.
One foot after the other.
One step at a time.
Act with the destination in mind and trust that you will get there.
Strive to live, live to strive.
