Why Hard Work Triumphs Over Talent

Introduction: The Age-Old Debate Have you ever wondered why some people with incredible talent don’t seem to achieve their full potential? Meanwhile, others with average abilities go on to accomplish amazing things. The answer lies in a simple truth: hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. While natural ability can give you a head start, effort, persistence, and dedication are the…

I think protests can be extremely effective but I think the reason more of them aren't is a lot of them are fundamentally emotional expressions and not highly disciplined actions with clear strategy and specific goals.

The perfect response when people try to pressure you or rush you, is that “My time will come.” Some people need to realize that each individual is on their own journey and path in life. No two people are meant to be the same. I don’t believe in being a late bloomer or anything because — everyone arrives to their destination when they’re ready (as long as they’re moving). We are each meant to achieve different things at different times. More people need to internalize this understand this and stop comparing and expecting everyone to be one the same timeline because life doesn’t work that way.

If you’re experiencing this from others, ignore them, remain patient and stay in your lane. You’ll arrive when you’re ready because you’re on your own divine timeline.

True success lies ONLY in following the Sunnah of Nabi Muhammad ﷺ

If there is no basis for a particular thing in the Shari'ah, then it is incumbent upon us to avoid it at all costs.

Love Is…

4 Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud, 5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs; 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. — 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 | New Heart English Bible (NHEB) The New Heart English Bible is in the public domain.

It takes time

Nothing starts the way it finishes.

Nothing that matters, anyway.

The important things in life start off unimpressive, unnoticed, unimportant. And then slowly grow and change – almost imperceptibly at times.

We love the idea of the quick fix, the flash of inspiration, the overnight success.

But reality is more like the old quote (one that’s been attributed to Jeff Bezos, Tom Clancy, and a dozen other people) – “overnight success takes about 10 years.” At least.

That’s how life really works. And that’s the principle that Jesus is showing us in today’s Gospel.

It’s a truth that’s easy to see. And hard to live with.

Especially when it comes to the things that really matter to us. Whether we’re trying to improve our health, battle an addiction, build a relationship, get out of debt, or just trying to be better human beings.

It’s not going to happen overnight. It takes time.

And that gets frustrating. Because it’s more than just slow going.

For most of us, it’s not a straight line, a steady rise over time. More like two steps forward-one step back. On a good day.

The point of Jesus’ parables about the mustard seed and the yeast? That God knows this about us.

God knows that we’re not always going to get it right. That sometimes we get stuck. Sometimes we head off in the wrong direction.

And even if we are headed in the right direction, sometimes it looks like nothing is happening.

God knows this about us. All of it.

But there’s something that you and I need to know about God.

God loves you enough to wait for you. And God loves you too much to let you to struggle alone.

It’s why God will always help you pick up the pieces and try again. If you’ll let Him.

If you’ve ever wondered why the Sacrament of Reconciliation is infinitely repeatable, this is why.

Even if you’ve lost track of it all. Even if it looks like nothing will ever change. Even if you’ve given up – on you, on God, or both.

God is calling you to start again. With Him.

Because God knows that the important things in life start off unimpressive, unnoticed, unimportant.

And God loves you too much to give up on you.
