Act With Perseverance And You Will Be Respected

Perseverance is a talent all on its own. Sticking to our task, not giving up, has accomplished so much for others and ourselves in this life.

The very act of not saying I quit gives us strength and the resolve to continue and succeed. It can revitalize us. It can inspire us. It can energize us.

We can find the determination required.

• The dedication and stamina with which to succeed.
• The tenacity and diligence for any task.
• The doggedness and resolve to see our action through to its rightful and just conclusion.

Yet at times such efforts are so hard. It would be so easy to give up. To call it a day and go watch TV. To just have a cuppa and relax, but with our task incomplete.

So what is it that gets us to go that extra mile. To make and take that next step. To say to oneself that this is something we are going to do, whatever the consequences. Whatever happens. What makes perseverance part of daily life?

Is it our pride? Pride in what we do. Pride in what we stand for. Pride in our own abilities.

The chance to help another person, whether they have been there for us or not. The chance to give something back to this life. To contribute in a way only we can.

Yes, that may be part of it. But is there more?

At times you will be tested, and perseverance is a test for anyone. Challenges will 'try' to bring out the best in you, and sometimes against your best efforts.

Is there not a part of us that does not accept no for an answer. We want to act. We want to achieve. We want to accomplish. We want to persevere. We want it to be our middle name.

For then we feel good. We can feel satisfied. We can feel whole and comfortable with ourselves. We can feel at one with life and more. We can feel that we truly are a human being.

We may be doing to accomplish this, but this is conscious doing - stemming from our state of inner being. And this state is one we crave and know that it is within our grasp.

We just need to stretch ourselves and it can be there for us. Today, but also tomorrow, too. If we are sincere, humble and give ourselves to life in a good and wholesome manner.

We can experience that 'wowness' factor in life that has us coming back for more and more. Once felt always remembered and savored.

That is a state worth experiencing and chasing. And allows us to persevere and achieve and be a success. And fulfill ourselves in this life.

Go to it!
