Adage: Rome wasn’t built in a day

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

So, I heard you are on a self-improvement mission.

Join the club and let me remind you, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Today’s adage means that if you want to create something great, it’s going to take some time. You will need determination and perseverance.

It may also be painful, but it doesn’t have to be.

It is originally from French, but I’m not going to scare you with that version.

Let’s get back to self-improvement.

Most humans have something in their lives that they are not satisfied with.

It could be their weight, body shape, knowledge, position in society, language ability, housing situation or anything else you can come up with.

Many humans try to change these things.

Naturally, they have good intentions, but their enthusiasm quickly wanes once they realize they will not see immediate results.

That’s where today’s adage comes into play.

We have to remember Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Yet, Rome was built, and you know what? The building of Rome is still an ongoing process.

Suppose you are one of those interested in improving yourself.

In that case, you need to acknowledge whatever you want to accomplish will take time and probably a bit of pain.

In life, that’s par for the course.

It would be best if you remembered Rome wasn’t built in a day and strived to achieve your goal one day at a time.

Whatever it is you want to make better, including your English skills, you must not only make it a daily habit but a way of life.

Whether you’re losing weight, buffing up or learning something new, make it a lifestyle choice.

You will realize your dreams and so much more.
