The Valley of Disappointment

Have you ever felt like you are doing all of the right things, all of the right activities, putting in the time and energy, yet you are not getting the results you expected? You are not alone. Welcome to what James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, calls the valley of disappointment. When you make the decision to consistently put in the work your mind also create an expectation for the desired results. But in realty it takes time for your consistency to compound so the arc of your results looks much different. This creates a temporary gap between your expectations and the results, also known as, the valley of disappointment. The encouraging news is that if you can push through the valley with your commitment to consistency soon your results will exponentially surpass your expectations. I guess that is why they say consistency and hard work are undefeated.

Keep Elevating Our Industry.
