You will is the water

# Chapter 199

/“Constant dripping hollows out a stone.” ~ Lucretius/

This is the story of my life. It can be the story of your life. The stone can be any objective you choose. But the stone is always the challenge. The thing you are reaching for, striving for, aiming for. It is hard and difficult. It is heavy and large. It represents some dream or wish so big that just thinking about it almost overwhelms you. And the only way to conquer a stone without crushing it, is constant dripping or chipping with a small hammer. Little bit by constant little bit.

The water is soft by comparison. But the water is your will, it is your persistence, your commitment to finishing, you won’t be denied, you cannot fail because you are constant. Constant is powerful. Way more powerful than most think. In the Bible, God recognizes that a generally powerless person becomes powerful by constant pursuit of a goal or objective (Luke 18:1-8).

Power and force and impact in life usually are a reflection of persistence more than talent, of consistency more than skill, of tenacity more than opportunity.
