“Persistence can make anything possible.”
One of the remarkable truths about human existence is that with patience, determination and persistence you can make anything a reality.
I came across a worn tree dragged down under the weight of an encroaching vine while walking in a secluded wood. Upon closer inspection, I recognized the vine as a wild grapevine and wondered at its resilience to both survive and actually fruit in the wild.
More impressive still was the recognition that I could learn from this plant’s voracity for life, expansion and growth. Despite the many obstacles it has faced—drought, foraging animals and a shaded canopy, the vine continued to thrive and soon overwhelmed this mighty tree.
That’s what we can learn from nature.
- How can we be resilient in the face of obstacles beyond our control?
The answer was clear—never stop growing. Day by day—add new growth. Expand your influence and beliefs until you overwhelm the obstacles which stood in your way by conquering them like the vine.
- Learn something new.
- Work an extra shift.
- Exercise and improve your health.
- Meditate and strengthen your mind.
