There is a thought as I work on this book and do the tasks that support it, “this is too complicated, it won’t be worth the effort, I should just stop.” Yet there are two who know this is a lie-God knows its a lie, and the thought knows it is a lie. The only one who is not always convinced of this truth is me.
I know that the content of this book is good. I know that it will save its readers hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours n frustration. I know that it will enrich their spiritual lives. Yet I sometimes allow myself to be disheartened by the lie. Even though I keep moving, sometimes I let this lie challenge my joy.
I am not going to quit. It’s that simple. I began this book while staring at an empty bank account and a rapidly depleting fridge. I chose to focus on this book because I know that it will help everyone who touches it. So I must remember the truth.
The truth is that everything requires effort. Even sitting still and doing nothing requires the effort of suppressing your own desires and will. Even doing an aimless task requires effort, so why not focus on something meaningful, even when the result of the path appears unclear?
Never let up.
