Old Word...New revelation

Persistency.......I have never really thought much about the word, or perhaps I should say I just let the word go fleeting by. I would imagine my immediate word association with the word persistency would be probably be something which was for mainly work related matters. In my mind when someone wants something bad enough, the word persistency surfaces. i.e. that there are people who would work so hard towards a specific goal and not easily throw in the towel.

The revelation I discovered is this, I think I need to remove a stronghold in my thoughts as I always say.....I'm more a sprinter than a marathon runner. The Stronghold I realise I carry is "The Sprinter mentality in my life". I always thought I was doing the right thing when I would be the first in line at a family/friend's side during a time of crisis. I would be there, hand and foot to see what I could do or how else I could help alleviate the situation. However, when things seem ok, I would just make an exit, not to surface until and unless required.

I realised that this is not how trust and relationship grows. I realise that Life is about MARATHONS and not sprints. I do acknowledge my shortcomings, gosh this is an old blog, but i think it deserves to be on print.
