You never know what's
around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep
putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and
you've climbed a mountain. [Tom Hiddleston]
Life is like this for me. I no longer look ahead and round
the corners though. I just plod on. I DO the next things and, as much as I can,
those things I BElieve to BE the “next right” things. I sometimes let something
drop away and notice it hasn’t made that much difference. Then I consider
whether to pick it up again or just go on without it. Sometimes I get it right.
NOT always though.
Character consists of
what you do on the third and fourth tries.
[James A.
Michener]
Michener had a good point. It is so rare that anything gives
way or doors burst open at the first go. Even the second. [I know this BEcause
I have learnt it again and again in practise.]
I am NOT always the most graceful, but I DO persist in
things I think are essential. And it’s working, so far.
The art of love is largely the art of
persistence. [Albert Ellis]
Is that harsh?! Does it NOT ring true?! It surely resonates with my experience.
I love you, Currie

Yes. Persistence is keeping going even when it is not easy and getting back on track when you have had obstacles to overcome. Love is a good example--LOL! ;)
