Try, Try Till you Succeed

It is in human nature to try once or twice and then give up. Like dialling a phone number...

But persistence is a virtue; woe to those who don't have it!

There is nothing that a calm mind cannot achieve. So, on failing, return to the easel and see where the new effort takes you. Sleep over it if you must, but wake with new vigour if you want to attain your goal.

For only the persistent one will win in the end. (The Hare and the Tortoise come to mind here, of course). Yes, you heard it all before. But come back to me if you've tried it and not succeeded - the point being, you probably haven't tried often enough...

I don't know how long it's been that I've wanted to have my own little space out here. And here I am!

I feel like a speck of sand on a breezy white beach, looking in awe out at the wide open sea. It's empowering and humbling all at the same time...

I can almost hear the waves crashing and then humming on the sand as they wander back home, only to return in a little while with a new face.

This, yes this! is the land of opportunity.
