Speaker 1 (00:00):
Clyde Lee Dennis. Here and today in our seven Good
Minutes extra segment, we're contemplating this profound truth. The mountain
is moved not by the earthquake, but by the countless
rain drops that persist through time. This quote beautifully captures
the essence of how real transformation happens in our lives.
We often look for the dramatic moments, the sudden breakthroughs,
(00:22):
the life changing events that will shift everything in an instant,
but nature teaches us a different lesson about the power
of persistence and consistency. Think about how a mountain is
actually shaped. It's not the occasional earthquake that creates its contours.
It's the patient work of water, drop by drop, year
(00:43):
after year, century after century. Each rain drop seems insignificant
on its own, but collectively they carve canyons, shape valleys,
and transform entire landscapes. Your micro victories work the same way.
Each small choice, each tiny moment of growth, each brief
instance of choosing better. These are your rain drops. Individually,
(01:06):
they might seem inconsequential, but over time they're literally reshaping
the landscape of your life, carving new patterns of behavior,
creating new pathways in your brain, transforming who you are
at the deepest level. This metaphor also speaks to the
importance of patience with yourself and your growth process. We
live in a culture that celebrates the earthquake moments, the

dramatic before and after stories, the overnight successes, the sudden transformations,
But sustainable change rarely works that way. It works like
water on stone, gentle but persistent, soft, but unstoppable. When
you're feeling frustrated with your progress, when your changes feel
too small or too slow, remember the rain drops. Each
(01:52):
micro victory you achieve is contributing to a transformation that's
happening at a deeper level than you might realize. You're
not just changing your behavior, you're changing your identity, one
tiny choice at a time. Here's a question for reflection.
What rain drops in your life? What small consistent actions
are slowly but surely shaping the person you're becoming. How
(02:15):
might viewing your micro victories as part of this larger
patient process change how you see your progress? And here's
your affirmation. I trust in the power of small, consistent
actions to create profound transformation in my life over time.
Remember you don't need to be an earthquake to move mountains,
you just need to be persistent, like the rain that
(02:36):
never gives up, knowing that every drop matters in the
grand design of who you're becoming. Until next time, I'm
