What happens in the unseen shapes everything around and within us.
How many times have you heard someone say, "I don't know what happened, he just became an overnight success!"? Do you really believe that?
If a kingdom can be built in a day, is it fair to assume that it can also be destroyed in a day?
If you know why you are doing what you are doing, the peanut gallery can't take you out of the game. Buying in to the millions and millions of complaints and lies going around every single day is exactly what breeds mediocrity, but joy takes root in the fertile soil of trust and faith.
"Faith never knows where it is being led, but it knows and loves the one who is leading." -Oswald Chambers
We live in a society that demands all tasks and changes happen "as soon as possible" but a great and true God dwells within us whispering "as long as it takes." Learning to listen to his voice (my sheep individually know my voice) is key to abiding in an ever quickening society with any semblance of peace and truth.
So, how long are you willing to stick with it? Faith does not grow in the house of certainty. Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. Subtle changes that happen in the dark while God is developing the film of your life's story - this is where relationship with Jesus is accomplished. Because who you are when no one is watching is who you are.
