dictionary.com states: diligent (adjective): 1. constant in effort to accomplish something; attentive and persistent in doing anything: "a diligent student." 2. done or pursued with persevering attention; painstaking: "a diligent search of the files."
The word diligent reminds me of the image of two people digging for gold. One person gives up just before breaking through to find the gold. The other person is continuing and is on course to breaking through. There is "gold" ahead of you. Keep going.
For today, I AM Diligent. I AM That.
