Plodders Change The World

Dear Plod

With you I feel unseen
With you I feel inpatient
With you I feel unworthy
With you I feel like a failure
With you I feel unglamourous

Oh Plod,

Without you I am lazy
Without you I am busy
Without you I am stuck
Without you I am behind
Without you I am burned up

With you Plod,

Though fears lurk, we push on
Though strategies fail, we push on
Though resources lack, we push on
Though obstacles hinder, we push on
Though destination unmapped, we push on

Thank you Plod,

You give me time to love
You give me room to think
You give me safety to build
You give me belief to continue
You give me rest from busyness

I understand Plod,

To value you is to value rest
To value you is to value journey
To value you is to value building
To value you is to value progression
To value you is to value contribution

I see you Plod,

You are behind true greatness
You are consistent in any season
You are character in challenging times
You are commitment to forward motion
You are the unsexy secret of world changers

Why do life with you Plod?

Because you give me the power to change the world


This originally appeared on my blog with some thoughts on the importance of plodding, even when you feel like shit.

Hope it helps you keep on keeping on.
