Today is a good day to learn more about others who have persevered. Spend some time online searching for stories of people who made it through adversity.
Think of a traumatic experience: The Great Depression, the Holocaust, or something you witnessed personally. Read or think about the accounts of hardships and what was learned from them.
What did you learn from reading these accounts?
How can you apply these principles to what you are facing today?
Last year, I read the Little House on the Prairie series of books with my son. There are some stories of perseverance! I can’t recall how many times the Ingalls family lost pretty much everything they had worked for (homes, crops, etc…), including very nearly losing their lives on several occasions, mostly due to weather and other natural events. But they continued to get up every day and work to build their home, sow and raise crops and animals, trying to build a good life.
I believe that when we are working toward the right and true things, toward our dreams, there is no other choice but to persevere.
What do you think?
