Proverb: Seek, and you shall find

Seek, and you shall find success in life.

Many people have said various things about achieving success in life.

Very few of them have said attaining success is easy.

Patience is a virtue and is often a necessary quality when it comes to success in life.

There is no such thing as overnight success.

It takes patience and determination to get what we want out of life.

However, even though I believe that to be true, I also believe in the proverb seek, and you shall find.

It is essential not to give up on things because they are difficult or take longer than expected.


The proverb seek, and you shall find in its essence, means that if you put in the effort and work hard, you will be rewarded with success.


God helps those who help themselves, so if you want to have a little bit of divine assistance with your endeavours, you best put in the effort.

Hard work never goes unrewarded; it is a lesson best learned early in life.

If you work hard enough at something for long enough, you will be rewarded.

In today’s society, we are often told to be patient and to wait for things to happen.

However, this is not always the case.

Sometimes, we must take matters into our own hands and make things happen.

The proverb may say, seek, and you shall find, but it means you have to work your fingers to the bone before enjoying the fruits of your labours.

It’s also essential to understand that the success you eventually achieve may differ from what you had in mind.
