Keizoku wa chikara nari: persistence is power. Not intensity. Not talent. The proverb doesn't even mention those. I understood it first through reading, the way I understand most things: nobody finishes a thousand-page book in a sitting, but forty pages a night finishes every book ever printed. The gym runs on identical math. The unremarkable workout, repeated long past the point where anyone's watching, beats the heroic one that happens twice. I've read whole series that way and rebuilt myself the same way. Showing up is the entire secret. It just refuses to look like one.

Printed on the Comfort Colors 1717, a garment-dyed heavyweight with that broken-in feel from day one.
