Interesting Coincidence...

Tonight, while watching the Western Conference NBA Finals, I saw a quote that I use for "self motivation" on the wall of the San Antonio Spurs locker room. The quote is from Jacob Riis, a 19th century Journalist and Photographer who devoted his life to helping the impoverished.

Let me know what you think...

“When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.”




Front Street, Harrisburg, PA. Sometime in the Fall.

    love the quote also... i always thought that the first 10 or so strikes are very exciting... by the 50th and 60th it's getting monotonous... and the last 20 are struck on pure faith... kind of like life's challenges...but when that rock DOES split... in retrospect, every single one of those blows was so individually worth the effort!!!

    best of luck in your ride... each mile one at a time...good winds and blessings your entire route...
