When growth felt invisible, I had to learn how to keep going when progress feels slow—especially in the seasons where nothing seemed to move.
💭 “Am I even making a difference?”
💭 “Why is this taking so long?”
💭 “Maybe I’m doing something wrong.”
But I’ve learned that slow isn’t stuck.
Growth is still happening, even when I can’t see it. And I’ve found gentle ways to keep going when progress feels slow—without pushing, panicking, or giving up.
