So I was setting up a new fitness app on my phone and the thing was not cooperating.

It was hard to find the functions I needed.

Why couldn’t it just tell me what to do?

Why did it have to be so hard?

After 20 minutes of fiddling I threw up my hands and moved on to something else.

But I came back to it.

I took a breath.

I actually read each screen thoroughly.

It started to make sense.

And I figured it out.

I wanted to just “know” how to use it.

Without any investment of time.

Without any sweat.

Without making any mistakes.

I didn’t want to learn.

I just wanted to know.

Does this resonate for you?

The world is a fast place.

No time to reflect, process or get something wrong.

Whether its meeting women or setting up an app on your phone, we want it to happen – yesterday

Be patient with yourself.

Knowledge is earned, through a struggle.

Make some mistakes and try again.
