Where is this hope?
Hope from hearts and minds.
In tomorrow’s potential.
Hope is the light we carry into the darkness.
In your DNA’s unbroken chain of replication.
Why persistence?
Without it, dreams remain imaginary.
Breakthroughs are just beyond perceived limits.
Persist because giving up guarantees’ failure.
You persist because you matter. You matter because you persist
“The Magic you are Looking for,
is in the Work you are Avoiding”
“Ask not for a lighter load to bear but for broader shoulders with which to bear it.”
Questions built me, questions guide me, questions provide for me.
Good questions enlighten.
Hope is the expectation that tomorrow will be better than today.
Persistence is the regular repetition of actions and works regardless of circumstance.
I have been doing my minimum of 5 pull ups every day since the new year and it has been quite excruciating to do them some days.
Yet, my streak is unbroken. Each time I complete them I am grateful for that strength to persist. Each week I write again in persistence.
“A habit missed once is a mistake
A habit missed twice, is the start of a new habit.”
-James Clear
Together these two can be combined into FAITH.
A word less commonly played.
Build on bedrock, re-discover, each of their own, generation after generation, to revivify the ancestral framework from its symbols to sustain fractal family journey.
Reject someday, make today Day 1
Tempest Tossed Souls
Wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live
know this
on the ocean of life, the isles of blessedness are smiling,
the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming,
keep your hands firmly upon the helm of thought,
in the bark of your soul reclines the commanding master,
he does but sleep, wake him,
self-control is strength, thought is mastery, calmness is power,
say unto your heart,
Peace. Be Still.
Work for God, not for man.
Walk by faith, not by sight—each step shapes the unseen path.
Strength is built in struggle, and endurance refines the soul.
What is planted in faith will be harvested in time.
The fire that tests me is the fire that purifies me.
A single act of devotion outweighs a thousand moments of doubt.
Faith is not the absence of uncertainty; it is the refusal to be ruled by it.
Brick by brick, day by day, the foundation of a steadfast life is laid.
The wind may bend me, but the roots of faith hold me firm.
To persist is to trust that each effort matters, even when unseen.
Hope and action are two wings of the same flight.
When the path is unclear, still I move forward, for faith leads the way.
Great things are not built in haste, but in faith-driven persistence.
