The day's reading speaks to the conflict between ideal and actual. Desire and reality.

The old chestnut about 10 years to become an overnight success plays into it.

That the struggle matters more than the goal. Without it, you never reach the goal.

That nobody achieves mastery in a day.

Something worth doing, that you believe in, is worth struggling for.

And, if once achieved, continuing to struggle.

May your strength be up to the struggle #today
