An emaciated child cannot be fattened in just one day.

~ Nigerian proverb

When I first started doing music, I felt intimidated at how good some people were. At some times I'll just give up and say things like " maybe it's not just my thing". I can say the same about my experience here on steemit. The first few weeks and months we're mind tormenting. Learning itself is a process and takes time.

If we wish to talk about the emaciated child in the proverb, for some like myself, loosing weight is a piece of cake whereas gaining it takes hard work. I know for some it's the reverse. Recently I started a body building routine. Funny enough I thought Ill just blow like a balloon in a few weeks. It never happened. It doesn't mean it will never happen, it just means I haven't done it long enough.

A lot of things in life answer to consistency. Your relationship is going the wrong way; are you consistently trying to put it right? Your not making progress with your training; are you deliberately doing things to improve your skill level?

Don't give up on that thing so quick. Feed the child a little longer. Change his food or ration if you have to.

Proverbs have inspired me for a long time. There is so much wisdom in them. My father always told me a few every now and then. Hope to share my thoughts from this daily with you.

Being an art lover, I'll also be featuring art from creative artists from @artzone and ones posted with #artzone just as my little way of promoting art here on steemit.
