Diligence

"What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence". -- Samuel Johnson
Today's word is diligence.  Have you ever wondered how masters of their skills make it look so easy?  The truth is nothing worth doing comes easy at first.  To become great at something requires diligence and strength of will.  Often times we give up , letting a true dream die simply because we didn't put forth the effort it would take to do something different.  Today's word challenges us into action.  It asks us to put our ideas and skills to the test, so that we can get to a point where we make it look easy.

Today's Exercise:  Think of something you have always wanted to do or a skill you already have that you want to strengthen.  Think of someone you know or admire who already has this skill.  What did they do to get there?  Are you passionate enough about this dream to go after it with all you have?  If not find something else that fires up your true passion and be diligent in your efforts to attain this goal.
