" After you have practiced for a while, you will realize that it is not possible to make rapid, extraordinary progress. Even though you try very hard, the progress you make is always little by little. It is not like going out in a shower which you know when you get wet. In a fog you do not know you are getting wet, but as you keep walking you get wet little by little. If your mind has ideas of progress, you may say, "Oh, this pace is terrible!" But actually it is not. When you get wet in fog it is very difficult to dry yourself. So there is no need to worry about progress. It is like studying a foreign language; you can not do it all of a sudden, but by repeating it over and over you will master it. We can say either that we make progress little by little, or that we do not even expect to make progress. Just to be sincere and make our full effort in each moment is enough."
Thanks Mike, it speaks volumes.
