Daily Gratitude: “Energy and persistence conquer all things.”

Did you see the 2026 Kentucky Derby? I saw the end and felt this quote was perfect for that.

That horse was just moving along in the back of the pack. And then the announcer started noticing. I’m not sure others would have picked up on it at that point.

You could see the energy in that horse. It was on a mission. It had a job to do and it wasn’t going to let being so far back defeat it. It was focused. It was persistent.

It just kept moving up and slowly took over the lead at the very end. I was blown away it was so beautiful.

If you have something you want in life, keep at it. Apply yourself with all the energy you can. Persistence is essential for success. You can do anything if you just keep going.
