“The most useful form of patience is persistence. Patience implies waiting for things to improve on their own. Persistence implies keeping your head down and continuing to work when things take longer than you expect.” ~James Clear, author of Atomic Habits
Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits.
Your physical fitness is a lagging measure of your eating and training habits. Your knowledge is a lagging measure of your learning habits. Your net worth is a lagging measure of your financial habits.

Patience, along with effective habits, are a necessity and essential virtue in order to make changes and improvements in your life.
As James Clear points out: “Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits. Your physical fitness is a lagging measure of your eating and training habits. Your knowledge is a lagging measure of your learning habits. Your net worth is a lagging measure of your financial habits.”
Effectively, you get in your life what you repeat over the long term.
And, patience is imperative in investing.
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett reminds investor regarding the importance of patience when he quipped that: “Successful investing takes time, discipline, and patience. No matter how great the talent or effort, some things just take time. you can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.”
“The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.” ~ Arnold H. Glasow
