Persistence

grdominicans by Dominican Sisters ~ Grand Rapids (grdominicans) on Tuesday May 4th, 2010 in NON-PROFIT

Have you ever noticed how the child's short attention span gives way to amazing persistence when the task is something she really wants; for example, learning to walk, tying a shoe, whistling a tune, batting a ball? And when the child falters at any of these tasks, the adults respond with encouragement, patience and applause for the effort.

Yes, we know that persistence pays off. Thomas Edison failed many times in his attempts to invent what became the light bulb.  He said, "I have not failed.

At Founders brainstorming names before it was called The Rapidian.

I found out early Monday morning: Drew Storey, The Rapidian's content facilitator, had passed away.

After the first hour, I decided I wanted to make a plan. That's how I react. Make a plan, figure out how to fix things so you can be back in control. But the thing was, I didn't know what to put in my plan; nothing I could do would fix things. And if anybody could have control, I definitely didn't deserve to be that person. I could pour myself into that plan and it would still be futile.
