Consistency Is Key

June 15th

“What is harder than rock? What is softer than water? Yet hard rocks are hollowed out by soft water.”

—Seneca

Natural Questions

There is immense power in persistence and patience.

We often face obstacles that seem insurmountable, like the hard rock that stands unyielding and formidable.

It's easy to feel discouraged when our efforts don't yield immediate results or when the challenge appears too tough to tackle. But think about water—soft, pliable, and seemingly weak—yet given time, it can carve canyons through stone. In life, it's not always the force we apply, but our gentle, consistent effort that can lead to the greatest change.

When you’re frustrated with a project that’s not progressing, remember that small actions taken repeatedly can have a profound impact over time. Patience and persistent effort can erode the most stubborn of obstacles.

Are you giving up too quickly, or can you find the tenacity to keep flowing towards your goals, trusting that persistence will eventually lead to the breakthrough you seek?

Like water shapes rock, let your steady dedication shape the life you wish to carve out for yourself.
