Although the connections are not always obvious, personal change is inseparable from social and political change.

Vision and persistence

by Ralph Marston

If it’s not possible to make a lot of progress, you can find ways to make a little progress. When it’s impossible to make a little progress, at least you can keep from losing ground.

Every effort matters, even when the results are less than spectacular. Though the going may be slow, you’re better off when you keep going anyway.

There are many times when conditions won’t work in your favor. Nonetheless, you can choose to work in your favor.

At some point you’re sure to hit a smoother stretch of road. Eventually, your perseverance will begin to pay off.

Remind yourself why you’re doing what you do. Keep your focus on the objective and put your energy into moving steadily toward it.

Those times when the value seems so far away, are the times when your vision and persistence matter most. Keep going, and bring that value to life.
