Instead, respect its power, work with it thoughtfully and back off when your integrity disappears. Forget about results and they come faster. If you weigh yourself or check your reflection every day, anxious for results, you'll miss out on what you're doing. Watched pots never boil. Change seldom occurs in quick, sudden spurts.
Evolution is slow.
Focus on the moment rather than obsessing on the goal. This way you show up and results do, too. Choose pleasure over pain. When you enjoy it, you do it. Balance your activities, balance your life.
