As you'll recall from this morning's episode of Seven Good Minutes,

our thought for today is,

This quote, often attributed to Thomas Fuller,

a 17th century English churchman and historian, is a timeless

reminder of the journey of mastery and growth. Fuller's words echo through centuries, reminding us

expertise. In our fast-paced world, where instant results are often expected, this quote is a

personal growth, our professional endeavors, and even our emotional intelligence.
