Shock Value: Entry 71 "Perseverance"

Morning-

If you been tuning into the blogs this week, I been writing about several things I believe to be important in this life. Today in that same vein I am going to discuss: Perseverance.

Webster's dictionary defines Perseverance as: the act of persisting or persevering; continuing or repeating behavior. According to some perseverance is:

• commitment, hard work, patience, endurance
• being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint
• trying again and again

You show perseverance when you ...

• Give up your tv time to spend hours studying
• Try a new sport that is very difficult but you don't give up
• Have a learning disability but keep studying even when discouraged
• Come from a home where there is fighting and unhappiness but you still try your best
• Have missed a week of school but you work hard to catch up
• Are at the end of a difficult race but you cross the finish line
• Save money and make sacrifices to buy something
• Spend hours perfecting your gifts (playing the piano, singing, poetry, etc.)
• Study and work hard to raise your grade
• Try out for something you weren't successful at the first time

Inside of all of us is the spirit of a champion. It is on you if you show up to compete and stay until the final quarter is over or the whistle blows. In summation, perseverance is about never giving up. Never giving up on your friends, family, dreams, and especially the one you love. It essential to becoming a better you. As I say all the time, "giving up is simply not an option, so choose something else." Whatever you do in this life, don't give up, don't ever give up. No matter how tough or rough it gets you can make it.

~Keep the Faith!~
