Golden Lining

You know that every cloud has a silver lining but did you know that, at sunrise, some clouds have golden linings? The horizon was obscured by a thin layer of cloud all along the edge. I couldn't tell where sun would actually rise. Then, I saw the golden lining. It was faint, at first, just a thin golden thread. It grew stronger and thicker until the sun eventually burst over the rim of the cloud.

The golden lining started out very small, very faint. It was almost not there at all. Gradually, over time, it continued to get stronger leading up to a very beautiful sunrise. Results are the same way. For a long time, it seems as though it will never happen. In fact, it often seems as though nothing is happening. But if you continue focusing on what you want and taking action towards your goal then eventually the results will start to breakthrough. It takes faith, perseverance and commitment.
