One Kilometre? Ten?  Actually it depends on why. It depends on what’s waiting for me at the end of the journey. A life dream come true? I can walk a million miles. For something I don’t care about? Across the road is too far to walk. It’s got nothing to do with the physical distance, it’s about the why.

And that’s the trick to perseverance.

A strong why.

Absolute clarity on why you’re still walking and unshakable belief that it’ll be there, when you get there. Some mountains really are too high and some valleys too deep  – for the wrong why, as it should be.

  1. The big ‘WHY’ is question of vision. If you can stand at the beginning and see the end then the road between is just a formality no matter how long it is.

  2. Nyasha, you’re 100% right. Well put.

  3. I find this very thought provoking. Thank you for the reaffirmation of my “Why”.
