Day 263 of 365

Patience Beats Pride Every Time

“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”

Ecclesiastes 7:8 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

The beginning of something is exciting, but the ending is better. Finishing well takes patience. It takes the kind of steady, humble persistence that refuses to quit when the excitement fades and the real work begins.

Try This Today

Pick one thing you started but never finished, a book, a habit, a conversation. Commit to taking the next step on it today. Not starting over. Just picking up where you left off.
