Invisible progress is still progress

 Sometimes progress can’t be seen, and this can be difficult. I mean, how can we stay motivated if we can’t look back and see all that we have done or how we are growing? When there is no instant gratification, where can we reap the reward? 

As a visual artist and someone who has transformed her own life over night at times, it’s very hard for me to relinquish the need to constant validation and affirmation of my successes and progress. I want to be able to see exactly what I have done. So, when I am dealing with something like invisible progress, I can literally feel the lack of dopamine.

But, invisible progress is still progress. And after it compounds overtime, it will be evident in a huge way. It just takes time and consistency to get it there. 

Whether it’s working out, starting a business, or working on your internal self, the progress is worth it even if it unseen. 

Just keep going.
