It's a good book. I'm reading it for the second time now. I think it's one I'll come back to again.

I love this line, "The only way out is through."

It reminds me of the quote attributed to Marcus Aurelius in the book, "Meditations":

“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

Ryan Holiday rephrased it to, "The obstacle is the way."

Seth Godin talks about something similar and called it, "The Dip".

I have to remind myself of this over and over. It's so easy to forget that it takes time for efforts to produce results.

Thank you Charles. I am a Ryan Holiday fan. Just recently got my hands on The Obstacle is the Way. Plan on starting it next. I need to dig into “The Dip”.

I agree. We have to remind ourselves that anything worth achieving takes time and usually a whole lot of effort before the results show up.
