My Mind vs. African Violet

Do I really progress even 0.5 mm every day?

While I closely look my African Violets, I often think like this.
My African Violet is now blooming one after another, but I don't recognize its movement. I know it's too slow to catch the growing by our eyes, but even with this slowness, the buds are opening one by one, and imperceptibly became a bunch of flowers. They are certainly slow to grow; I think that they don't grow even 1 mm per day. But can I really say that to them? Do my mind grow faster than them?

I hardly imagine my mind grows 1 mm per day. I can't observe my mind from outside, but I imagine it grows only like 0.2 - 0.3 mm a day.
