"A river cuts through a rock; not because of its power, but its persistence."
I've learned (in my 21 years of life) that we have many small victories. We build upon these small victories until eventually we have this marvelous life unraveling before us. Taking a test, going to work, making dinner, changing diapers...All little things, that may seem like they don't matter in the grand scheme of things, but it is those that matter the most.
I am working on my degree in journalism. With high hopes of one day becoming a photo-journalist... Self-discipline and me are the best of friends lately. I am beginning to learn the balance between work &&fun. Learning where to draw the line for immediate benefits, and where to stop so I can have benefits later.
Sometimes we have to do what we don't want to do, so eventually, we can do what we want to do...
Okay, don't get me wrong here- I LOVE school. I don't HAVE to go to school. I love learning and scheduling new classes; it's something I am genuinely thrilled about in life- no matter what is happening. But do I sometimes frown on homework instead of a movie out? Of course. But then I remember the reward in the end, and the value of the education in itself. I have been working so hard this term, and my final grades have came in... ((Keep in mind here people, I am only getting my Associates at this point.. I work full-time. Go to school full-time, etc. So this, to me, is a huge feat))
Drum Roll Please.....
Four. Point. Ohhh.
&& I am thrilled.
My hope for you today is to strive past those tumultuous times to ultimately gain the end reward. Give those "LITTLE" goals your FULL focus- and in the end- You will have accomplished everything you hoped for...and more.
Persistence is key,
Remember that.
With love,
PhotoSoul Sarah.
