The greatness of our lives doesn’t depend so much on how grand our actions are, but more on how persistent are actions are. Most big moments are merely a stacking of little persistent actions leading up the mountain. “Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.” So the idea here is wake up each day and move forward. Even if you can only move an inch, take that one inch. I feel so many are sitting and waiting for the perfect opportunity, the wide open road. However it’s the constant little movements that eventually bring us to the way. The great moments we all dream of are built on top of the forgotten moments we never consider. “Therefore, my friends, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain”
Let this be our mission for 2017. Always fighting for the good in life. Always pushing forward, even in the little things. For in those little things the big things do appear. Let’s close out 2016 with a fight and bring in 2017 with a renewed determination. We will not sleep until we take new ground. We will not give up on our vision for life. We will take up the mantle of those who fought this great fight. We will make this world better. This is how we will win at life, by embracing all the little forgotten moments with a zeal for taking another step forward.
