External progress is often an overflow of internal work. People will congratulate and celebrate your achievements, often as if it happened quickly, when in reality it took years of commitment and dedication to growth and consistency that no one ever saw or recognized. Invisible progress are the intangibles. How you handle your attitude, commitment, leadership, responses. Success is far more than monetary. Define your own timeline and remember that the progress behind-the-scenes may be quiet, but it's steadiness will speak volumes in time.

Do you ever feel shame, disappointment, or even failure when you don't achieve something you set out to do? Is this usually self-inflicted or caused by others?

Perfection can be crippling because it feels unattainable, especially long-term. Consistent self-discipline will not only get you results, it will increase your self-confidence. You need to learn to trust yourself, and that starts with your daily choices and decisions, because it's not just others who are worth your time and efforts - you are worth showing up for too.

It's often easy to show up for others, keep our word and be praised for our efforts. But when it comes to keeping our commitments to ourselves, it's often the easiest thing to delay or break. You are arguably your most important investment. Learning to practice self-discipline is one of the greatest strengths you can exercise as you grow.
