The Main Thing Is…

What is the main thing? According to Auguste Rodin, “The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist.” The main thing in life is to grow, not to stagnate. If you are not growing yourself, then you are stagnating. Do not get stuck in a rut. If you are not happy with what you are doing, then it is not the main thing for you. If you are stuck in a rut, then it is not the main thing for you. Do not be afraid to pursue the main thing, the thing that makes you happy, the thing that brings love, hope, and peace into your life. Yes, the world wants you to be different. Do not follow people, follow yourself. But that does not mean you shouldn’t listen to people. Listen to people, but follow your heart, your soul. Be brave. Do not give in to fear. And do not forget to follow the main thing- love!

If you want to achieve success in your life, you must be patient with yourself. Be patient with yourself, with your work, and with the people around you. Be patient. Because patience is power. In the words of Abd al- karim Qasim, “Patience will benefit you in every hour, every time and every opportunity. It helps you to overcome your opponent, however strong he may be. It will help you in times of distress and hardships, in battles and in war and peace.”

Patience is a healer. No matter what you are going through, just be patient. You are going to go through it. Horace said, “Patience makes lighter what sorrow may not heal.”
