Sustained effort

You’d like to get all your problems solved today. But despite your best intentions and most diligent efforts, that’s unlikely to happen.

Nonetheless, there’s much progress you can make. So use your time, push forward with that progress, do all you can at the highest level you’re able to manage.

You can successfully address one problem, then another, and then go to work on yet another. You can end the day far ahead of where you started.

Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the challenges, choose instead to be inspired by the possibilities and opportunities. A great deal of good, effective work is available for you to do.

Today you have the chance to make a difference. That remains true no matter what has happened, or where you are, or what obstacles you face.

Select one of those obstacles, get to work making your way around it, and keep going. Discover again and again the power of putting sustained effort behind your own highest intentions.
