A stone cutter may strike the rock 99 times with no apparent effect, not even a crack on the surface. Yet with the hundredth blow, the rock splits in two. It was not the final blow that did the trick, but all that had gone before.
I may pursue a goal for months without obvious results and become convinced that I m wasting my time but if I continue going to meeting , sharing about my struggle, taking it one day at a time, and being patient with myself, I may awaken one day , to find that I have changed, seemingly overnight. I have a gut feel that all these months of faith and hard work will made the changes possible one day and the results would revealed themselves abruptly one day.
It took me a long time to become a addict and it may take a long time for me to recover. I must be patient.
