Keep On Keeping On !!

Because, what else would you do? What else is worth your time and energy and skill?

The best use of your time is to keep on doing that which must be done.

Sure, pause sometimes and check if that main thing you do is still as important. Once that is established, you just need to keep on keeping on.

It might be insignificant, but it is important. Hence, it must be done.

And then, it all adds up, and becomes big.

Because giving up is more painful than keeping on.

Because keeping on is so very rewarding, in more ways than one.

Getting what you want is just a part of the reward, not all of it.

The joy of keeping on is a reward in itself.

Persistence and grit are their own reward.

The second wind, just when you think you're done, and you are tired and you cannot go on any longer.

One more difficult phone call, one more iteration, one more conversation, one more leap, one more review, one more stroke, one more improvement, one more interview, one more game with your child....... one more of whatever has tired you and tried you.

Art for art's sake, not to change the world.
