Silence fell with night, but Jacob couldn't entirely silence his racing mind, nor speed it up to the finish line.
The longer I persist on my journey toward my goal, the closer I come to finish line.
When it comes to life, I would much rather have run the race well than have run the race fast. For if we understand life, we would realize that the first one to cross the finish line is not necessarily the one who actually won the race.
If I'd had some set idea of a finish line, don't you think I would have crossed it years ago?
