The equation for for creating anything of substance, is submission to discipline multiplied by time. . If the starting of things (or buying of things) it all it took to change ourselves, then we’d all be living on a higher plane. . One of the harder of life’s irrevocable laws to accept, is that it is not the commencing of something that changes us, it’s the persisting. . Not the pep rally. But the last quarter. Not the converting. The enduring. Not the dabbling. The digging in. Not the fucking around... but enduring long enough to find out. . There is an inverse relationship between the number of times someone does something, and how inherently and intrinsically rewarding it is to do. . But there is a direct relationship between how many times one does something and the power it wields to strengthen and shape. . It’s the constant drip of water that cuts the stone. The small strokes that fell oaks. The daily practice that makes the shallow, deep. . The intentional, instinctive. The outward, inward. . A “long obedience in the same direction”. . 📸: @brayshawcreative
