A quote to help you keep on track….!

I was recently talking to a friend who had been trying to get herself started in a new career. She had decided to change careers after finding herself unable to get inspired about anything to do with her current career. While she was taking all the right steps to getting herself established, she was frustrated by how slowly it was all happening. She wanted to be “it” now even thought she knew it was a process. I found this quote and thought it may be something that could inspire her to stick with it, just as it had inspired me.

“The trees that are slow to grow bear the most fruit” – Moliere

When I was trying to convince myself to start this blog and had to learn a whole new language to help me understand what I was doing as I was creating this site, many times I almost gave up. It was a slow, painstaking process as I had no experience in this sort of thing. I often found myself thinking: “Is this really worth the trouble?”.  I have this quote on my desk and many times I focused on it, took a big breath and went and made a cup of tea (my solution to most problems!)! When I got back I was able to look at the problem with fresh eyes, I was inspired again knowing that anything worth doing is going to take time. Boy, am so glad that I continued on! Just as this quote helped me then it can also be useful in helping you cope with the day to day of managing your health. It is often a case of slow and steady wins the race when trying to keep on top of your health problems. But the reward is so worth it!

The day that I made my first post on this site – that alone was a huge moment for me. That alone was worth all the hard work. Since then the positive feedback and encouraging words have made me sure that I am creating a beautiful tree that will bear the most gorgeous fruit!

All the best, Lily
