Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

3.
There is always the saying floating around, "Nothing worth having comes easy." I believe in this statement whole-heartily. To obtain anything worth having takes determination, perseverance, and sheer will, but not in the way you expect. You must have the determination to hope and pray for what you want. You must have the perseverance to prevail in what you need and hope for. And you must have the will to see it done when it comes across your path. You cannot search for something you wish to obtain, but trust in the fact that if you want it badly enough and if it was meant to be then it will become yours. Chasing something will only make it run faster away, slipping through your fingers as you desperately cleave to it. You must wait patiently for it to flutter into your hand, and then and only then, can you hold onto it. Fight for it. Cherish it. But never smother it. It is like a butterfly, gently resting upon your palm. If you smother it, it will only want to fly away more. If you tend to it, and care for it, it will find a loving home upon your hand.
