Small but solid insight

Hoping for a full-length "Trenches" post later today, but, in the meantime, here's a small but solid insight derived from oh, I don't know, around thirty years of plugging away toward hard and distant goals:

You have to work as if fields of future opportunity are going to open for you--even if you can't see where, or when, or how. Because that is the single factor that is most likely to open those future fields.

I think it's called...faith.
