☮️💟🕉️☯️ #OneLittleWord #OneLittleWord2023 #Perseverance Perseverance is a single word with a powerful meaning. It means (to me) to stay focused and continue the journey in spite of a thousand obstacles. These obstacles will be in various forms, but I shall remain strong and persevere. "Perseverance is an active principle, and cannot continue to operate but under the influence of desire." ~ William Godwin "Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish." ~ John Quincy Adams "Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme. Succeeding is the coming together of all that is beautiful. Furtherance is the agreement of all that is just. Perseverance is the foundation of all actions." ~ Lao Tzu "Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." ~ Pele ☮️💟🕉️☯️ #OLW from previous years… #Endurance {2022} "Do not ask for an easy life, ask for the strength to endure a difficult one." ~ Bruce Lee "Without patient endurance, even the smallest thing becomes unbearable. A lot depends on our attitude." ~ Dalai Lama #Gratitude {2021} "Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more.
