The long game

I'm in a rush to be successful.

I'm not, by nature, a fast paced guy, but when I want something, I want it to happen quickly.

In the world of government contracting, things generally don't move quickly, which is frustrating.

On occasion, things move quickly, but progress is usually made in spurts.

Nothing happens, nothing happens, then a lot happens all of a sudden.

What I've been [attempting to] teach myself is to enjoy the ride and play the long game.

There is no one thing I can do today that will get a result tomorrrow.

BUT, there are things I can do consistently over this year that can help me in two to three years.

So if you're like me, this is a reminder to think in time frames of months and years, not days and weeks.

You can win the long game, but not if you're frustrating yourself by playing the short game.
