Life gives us many challenges, but we are also given gifts along the way to help us. Perseverance is one such gift. To persevere is to continue on a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success. One thing that perseverance is not is control. Perseverance is fueled by passion and belief in one’s self. It is the inner knowing that who you are and what you are doing is important.
