Patience is boring and unglamorous, but a highly necessary virtue. You might not think anything is changing in life, but if you are patiently persistent, you will see change.

Consider the diary of Christopher Columbus*:

• May 4:  On this day we sailed on.

• May 5:  On this day we sailed on.

• May 6:  On this day we sailed on.

• May 7:  On this day we sailed on.

• May 8:  Discovered land. Ate corn.”

Q:  How have you seen change happen in steps too small to appreciate at the time?
