Conversion is not a one-time event

We often imagine conversion like lightning: a moment in which everything changes and that is it. Sometimes it begins that way. But real life asks for something longer: converting again and again, returning to the right path every time you stray. It is not failure. That you need to begin again does not mean you are doing badly; it means you are still in the fight. Those who advance most are not those who never fall, but those who get up without tiring of starting. That is why it is worth returning from time to time to that first impulse: remembering what you wanted to be, shaking off routine, asking for help, and setting out again. Being better is not a one-day prize: it is the task of a whole lifetime.
