A tree doesn’t stop growing, it keeps growing and continues to produce fruits. What happens is we continue?

A piece of advice I was given earlier in my life was — learn when to stop. As I grow older and stop pursuing many things that I want to do, I started to ask — what if I push this a little further? The pain is there, but what is beyond this threshold?

That is when I discovered — things that are worth pursuing are worth persevering for. Not stop when it gets hard — but to push because the resistance is a point of comfort.
