In this era of immediate gratification, it's really tough to be content with the process of improvement; of being on the road to self-improvement but not at the end goal yet. I want to be good at things right away. I don't like the fact that I'm currently unable to play the banjo very well, or that I still haven't knitted a sweater, or that I'm not fully healed from emotional scars dating back years ago.
I'm adding to my list of things I want to do this year: be more patient. Enjoy the process, know that someday I will be able to play this gorgeous banjo as well as it deserves to be played; that someday I'll knit a sweater to be proud of; and that eventually time will help heal my wounds.
