A story using the words above
Clara refused to accept mediocrity. Though her progress seemed lagging and counterintuitive, she trusted the aggregation of small efforts would shift her trajectory. Unlike tectonic plates moving slowly, she didn’t entrench in fear. A powerful anecdote inspired her to envision success beyond a linear fashion. She realized her struggles were only momentary and that her potential was implicit within her. Though it wasn’t apparent at first, she vowed not to revert to old ways, knowing triumph would prevail.
