Keep pecking away.

The other day, I was watching a video of this little chick that was hatching out of it's egg. At first, a crack appeared and the egg shook as the little chick fought to break free. It seemed only a few seconds before the crack was big enough for the chick to finally crack its eggshell in half and enter the world. It seemed like the chick hatched in a mere five seconds for times sake. In reality, it can take a chick a very long time to break out of its egg. That's how it can seem with our writing or other goals that we may have in life. We're like that little chick. We're surrounded by things that seem to encase us and prevent us from achieving what we really want in life. (Kind of like a shell) We've got to peck at whatever it is that's keeping us down or preventing us from getting ahead in life and peck at it until we've broken free of it. It will most likely take us longer than a few seconds to peck our way out of our "shells." But if we persevere, just like that little chick did no matter how hard it was nor how long it took, we'll eventually achieve what we set out accomplish!
