For me, personal development will take time, because I know that if I'm pushing for a change internally too hard or want it to happen too fast, the development won't be sustained, and I will become burned out. Having said that, I hope we all remember to also stay kind to ourselves and appreciate this journey, while we are working on ourselves. We are usually thinking we need to rush, and most of the time, things take time to show changes.
