Ali Aydan progress

Ali Aydan: Progress is not a straight line. Be patient with yourself.

Growth isn’t predictable. It doesn’t come in tidy, upward trends.

Some days, you leap forward. Other days, you feel like you’re sliding back. But you’re still moving.

Let me share 3 lessons:

1- Setbacks don’t mean failure.
Progress is full of detours. What feels like a step back is often a step towards clarity or a new approach.

2- Perfection is a myth.
If you’re waiting for flawless execution, you’ll stay stuck. Real growth comes from showing up, trying, and learning.

3- Patience is a skill, not a mindset.
Patience isn’t about waiting but staying consistent, even when results feel far away.

When you feel discouraged, ask yourself: “If I keep going, where could I be a year from now?” The answer is usually worth the effort.

👉 Progress is rarely a straight line. It’s a spiral that takes you higher with every turn.

What’s one way you remind yourself to stay patient during challenging times? – Ali Aydan
