When I was heavily into weight-lifting years ago, an important virtue my mentors taught was patience. If I were to look in a mirror every day and expect huge results, they'd say I'd quickly become disappointed. Muscle-building is a slow process.

They emphasized significant amounts of progress were best measured in years - not hours, weeks or months. I swore never to forget that lesson.
