“Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.” ― Ovid
“In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.”
― Anthony Robbins
Lately, I've been at my wits' end trying to fit everything into the 24 hours available daily. Persistence and consistence will prove to be key tools in accomplishing everything. At times wondering what all this is for, then I remember that long term goals will see snags along the way. I must remember that short term defeats or moments of despair should not make longer term goals appear out of reach.
Do what we do well and use these tools to get us through difficult or seemingly difficult times in order to reach our long term goals.

I still ask myself what I'm doing, especially in this cohort. Was it really for me? Although I still wonder why, I am not going to quit. I will finish what I started. I know at times, I don't put a lot of effort in the things I do, but I will do my best to get it done. Thanks for sharing Ted!
