More words for the moment.

Perseverance is not loud; it is the steady return to effort after each small interruption.

Momentum often begins as a single decision kept with steady kindness.

Progress keeps its promises to those who show up with honest effort.

Every honest attempt redraws the map; progress shows up in the new lines.

Progress keeps its promise when you answer its call again and again.

When you choose forward, the past becomes a sturdy bridge, not a chain.

Keep the next small promise to yourself; those promises build the life you mean to live.
