In the context of initiative, recognize the inherent value within persistent, steady effort always. Notice how shifting one small step changes the entire rhythm of the activity. This moment of hesitation permits the most joyful, unexpected variations to arise. Let purpose meet connection in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you invite a second perspective.
