Why the Notion of 'Quick Wins' Discourages Feminine Souls

In today's world, with the 'hustle-culture,' Amazon Prime delivery, 24/7 opening hours, and social media constantly 'grabbing our attention,' we get lost.

We feel disconnected, despite being more 'connected' than ever before...

And we have this notion that we should see results from our endeavors right away.

And yet, have you actually seen a plant grow into full bloom the day or even week after you planted its seed?

This mindset of 'instant gratification' and 'quick wins' and that if you just work 'hard enough' you'll see instant results - and if you don't, it's because you're doing something wrong - is so toxic and harmful.

And especially to feminine souls who struggle with good girl conditioning of feeling like they need to master everything they do, have everything figured out before they even begin, and avoid failure at all costs.

In this spiral, it becomes essential to see the 'fruits of our labor' instantly. And, if we don't, there's something "wrong."

But what if there isn't? What if, despite what everything in you might be fearing, there isn't anything wrong with you or your process, and you're actually doing enough - just as it is?

What living more in alignment with the seasons is teaching me this year is that the seasons are there for a reason, and they each serve a unique and powerful purpose.

Summer and winter are not meant to happen at the same time.

Not in nature. And not in your life, projects, pursuits, growth, learning, or business.

So I'd like to ask you this:

What can you be grateful for, in this very season of your life / project / business / learning..?

What can you learn from where you are right now (not where you intend or wish to go)?

What is this part of the journey, right now, teaching you, building within you, or crafting for you?

Truth is, you can continue on the hamster wheel of the hustle culture that expects, demands, squeezes out instant 'results' that often lead people to burnout, lack of real connection, or simply lack of true fulfillment.

I know most people out there will - at least for now.

But most people aren't you. They aren't leading your life, you are.

And so you can, and must, make the choice of whether to expect instant results from a Universe (or what you believe in) that has probably already given you a home..? a loving hug? an education? a best friend? clothes to wear? a beautiful world surrounding you, ready to be explored by you..?

and probably much, much more? 🖤

Please note, this isn't about fake gratitude or dismissing your real challenges and pain. You're entitled to them and you have every right to move through them, process them, tend to your wounds from them.

But may I suggest that the world around you might also hold a million opportunities for beauty, creation, and wonder - and they are there whether you choose to stop and notice them or not?

And they could open you up to enjoying the process, letting things unfold in their natural and divine timing, and creating a vision so wonderful that you currently can't even imagine it.

So perhaps, it's time to step off the hamster wheel and begin reclaiming your life and experiences as they deserve to be experienced.

You have much more wisdom, much more power, much more resilience within you than you probably realize.

Isn't it time to reclaim them? To reclaim yourself?
