Progress doesn’t arrive in bursts. It builds through repetition — small, consistent, unremarkable actions that accumulate into something real.
The people who look like they arrived suddenly almost always spent years doing the work nobody was watching.

“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” — Confucius
The gap between slow and stopped is everything.
