If we wish for things to change and happen in a day, then that’s not how life works. The process of making something happen is hard. Had things were easier everyone would be doing it, right. The fallacy of immediate results is encountered by everyone. The biggest reason could be the tons of fast-selling diet books that promise things could happen in a jiffy. If those books were honest then they would be very short.

Working out daily, eating less, and doing it indefinitely will make you witness the results. This is factual but people won’t like such bitter truth. The idea that things should be easy is a fallacy. Success is always defined by events. Youtuber becomes a millionaire. The rejected scripts of TV shows hit a viral sensation. Business ideas that none wanted to turn out to be a trillion-dollar company. Media performs miracles with headlines and news that popped out from nowhere.

Well, this isn’t the actuality. The truth would be:

Youtuber spent 8 years making consistent videos that no one watched, and then one day one of his videos went viral and he was known to the world. Eight years of painful toiling clinched gradually for his success.

The get-famous quickly or rich-quick scheme that the media tries to sell is simply not true at all.

So, do your work, try to improve, and show up consistently. Perhaps, someday some odd drunk dude might share your work and it might go viral. But the headlines would read, “YouTube kid suddenly becomes a star!” The next day simply gets to the grind. Be wise. Do not fall for the fallacy of immediate results.
