At a point in my life I saw company loyalists - those individuals that spend decades in one particular company to be somewhat Lazy and unambitious. I've been with my current company for about five years now and it occurred to me that I'm slowly falling into that category. Of course, being able to see the actual reasons behind exposure to such a tag is a much appreciated experience, and many of my thoughts have certainly changed over the years.

I have certainly come to appreciate things like loyalty, patience and the ability to build things over time. Sure, fast growth is nice but it isn't realistic for the most part, at least for average persons. Yet deliberately taking everything on can be a herculean task that leaves us exhausted with very little strength left to actually pull through. The ability to filter and rather appreciate the very small steps that amount to a significant whole is really important if we are to get through the long haul.

It takes really little to actually enjoy life. A lot of people confuse extraordinary events or the spectacular as landmarks for success or happiness, they are not. Life is actually pretty mundane and may be considered boring by some. Yet we find comfort in our daily routines and some people even get a kick out of it. I actually look forward to going to work these days, something I didn't imagine possible five years ago. Just because the process is a long one doesn't mean it has to be insufferable. To filter is to present myself with the best possible options to endure a sustained period of slow growth.

I mean moving forward with no great options seems like a cruel joke. Why should I wait for such a long time if it accompanied by misery for a brief period in the spotlight. Does one glorious moment make the years of toiling and suffering worth it or are we simply going to realize the vain nature of our pursuits. I'd rather be able to enjoy the waiting period than have to bear all through if you ask me. I guess the process has to be something worth coming to each day then. Small incremental benefits are often so underestimated in terms of what they can contribute to the experience of the entire process.

Conclusion

Being able to see myself open to growth options by my routine is something I don't take for granted. Those who despise routines are not just impatient, but could very quickly end up with a sense of boredom. Too see my accepted lifestyle yielding results is a big flex for me. Especially from a financial standpoint where it seems patience and routine doesn't has taken a backseat in getting results
