Most people are conditioned to follow along in the missal while the Lector reads.
Why?
Shouldn’t the focus be on Saint Paul or Jeremiah?
Shouldn’t the reader be speaking in a way the requires no textbook?
Why not just ask everyone to (silently) read the scripture to themselves?
Try to imagine the time, place, audience, and context in which the original person said those things.

Change, real change, is the result of focused persistence.
It’s easy to get a bunch of people sort of excited for a little while.
The challenging part, and the reason that change doesn’t happen as often as it should is that we get distracted. Today’s urgent is more urgent than yesterday’s important.
The concept of breaking news and the crisis of the day proves my point. If the world ended every time Wolf Blitzer implied it would, we would have been toast a long time ago. The organizations that actually change things are the ones that have a time horizon that’s longer than 36 hours.
There are very few overnight successes. Very few entrepreneurs, freelancers, non-profits, candidates, spiritual leaders, activists or people in a successful relationship that got there with thunder and lighting. It happens with a drip.
PS this post is intentionally disfigured in honor of Break the Internet. I’m annoyed that we have to continually fight this fight, but it just proves my point. Drip by drip.
Keep showing up. If it matters, keep showing up.

The long way is the short cut.
Stop looking for quick fixes or to hire someone to do your most important work.
Walt Disney and Steve Jobs did not appoint someone to create their legendary organizational culture.
You get where this just went, right?

Patience is a virtue.
It was a risk to make him go to Track & Field practice two months late.
But after only two days of practice (the first was coincidently team photo day and no physical practice) he is willingly going to this morning’s practice.
Did i mention today is Saturday?
Did i mention he “hates” sports?

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
