Perseverance
My son had received the perseverance award several years in
a roll and as a mother I was very proud of him. I thought to myself, wow, my
son, knows what it means to keep going even when things get hard. Well, the
past two years I have learned a lot about perseverance, for myself. Throughout
my journey on chasing my dreams I have been met with barrier after barrier and
where a normal person would just cry it out and give up, is where I cried it
out, lifted my hands to ask the Lord for his guidance, and kept pushing
forward, even when I did not want to.
The thing about chasing your dreams is nothing will come
easy. It is an uphill battle however, the reward you receive once you make it
to top makes it all worth the fight. You see, perseverance means that you must
possess steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in
achieving success. Remember that when you keep pushing there will be a moment when
preparation meets opportunity and success is born.
I challenge you today to go the extra mile, to fail forward
and not quit, get knocked down and dare to get back up and keep going! God didn’t
say your journey would be easy but it will be worth the time, tears, and sweat
put into the journey. Go far and conquer all.
Look in the mirror and say to yourself “Be Great” why? Because
you are!
