“**Life is not about one obstacle, but many**. What’s required of us is not some shortsighted focus on a single facet of a problem, **but simply a determination that we will get to where we need to go, somehow, someway, and nothing will stop us**. We will overcome every obstacle—and there will be many in life—until we get there. **Persistence is an action. Perseverance is a matter of will. One is energy. The other, endurance.”** ([Location 1911](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00IX49OS4&location=1911)) --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[perseverance]], [[consistency]], [[progressing-slowly]], [[discipline]], [[character]], [[obstacle-is-the-way]] **Source** -- [[202409180132 - B - The Obstacle is the Way]]
