When the road is dark, persistence becomes your flashlight — every step forward gets you closer to the way out.
Sometimes you just have to keep doing and doing and doing. It’s the only way you get through. If you keep on doing, refusing to quit, somehow you find a way through and away out. Often times the road is dark and we can’t see more than a few feet in front of us. When that happens, just keep on doing and doing and doing. You have patience on your side. And, you have a no quit attitude. That’s a powerful combination that doesn’t take no for an answer. Just keep doing and doing and doing, and you will do all right.
Points to Ponder
- When have you faced a challenge where persistence was your only option?
- How can patience strengthen your determination to keep going?
- What “small steps” can you take today to keep moving forward?
- How do you remind yourself that darkness is temporary?
- Who can you look to for encouragement when the path ahead feels unclear?
