I need to take this message to heart. My persistence has certainly flagged in a few of my endeavors. Outside forces and various demands have given my procrastinating nature the excuses it craves. Certainly, I have accomplished a great deal in some portions of my life, but I need to refocus and redouble my efforts in other areas, specifically in my own education and personal health.
Our lives work along the same principles as physics. We need to build momentum to get anything done. This will mean persistence at both overcoming that initial inertia and then keeping my goals moving in the correct direction. Persistently praying for strength and guidance will help too.
