Persistence

 When being inspired, thoughts slowly start forming in mind. While some of them merge, others are quickly discarded. Though at this point, everything is still open, over time, a few become real convincing options that seem worth being put into practice.

Full of motivation, it is easy to plunge into an adventure quickly. But a rapid, rough landing frequently follows a too fast run-up. In many cases, its impact is too strong, and as a result, frustration rises. Regularly, this leads to the discarding of sparkling ideas.

If counting on persistence rather than pace, it is likely to gain more. There is more time to make mistakes, learn and develop. Yet, being tenacious appears harder than achieving the actual goal itself in many cases because too often, we stand in our own way.

Power pole at Diemerpark

I took this photo shortly after moving to Amsterdam in the winter of 2021. You can see a power pole at Diemerpark. The park is on a little island in the east of the city.

The Diemerpark is a beautiful place to spend a sunny afternoon. The park is home to many species of wildlife and is a great place to take a walk and enjoy the scenery. One of the most exciting things about the Diemerpark is the power pole in the middle. This pole is unlike any other one you've ever seen - it's huge, made out of concrete, and has all sorts of wires and cables running up and down it. The power pole has become such an iconic part of the Diemerpark that many people don't even notice it anymore - but if you pay attention, you'll see that it's an essential part of this beautiful park.
