It'll get easier

"That which we persist in doing becomes easier - not that the nature of the task has changed but an ability to do it has increased" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

When you're learning something or going through any sort of emotional growth spurt, it can feel like it's never going to get easier.

Then, suddenly, you stop having to put so much effort and energy into the smallest steps.

If you're finding something hard right now, take a moment to remember things you've become better at handling in the past.

It might have been starting a new job, learning a new skill or creating a new habit.

If you go back far enough, you'll remember the concentration and persistance it took just to learn how to stand upright and walk (toddlers never give up).

One day you'll find doing what you're doing suddenly feels really easy.

And before you know it, you'll be looking out for your next challenge.
