PERSEVERE. One word. Nine letters. Tremendous impact.

Persevere – meaning to persist, continue, keep going, even in the face of opposition, discouragement, or difficulty.

We have all had to ‘lean into’ this concept, whether we acknowledged it or not. Fighting to keep going, pep talks to not give in, finding the ‘extra strength’ to simply keep it all together, while sometimes perhaps fighting through hot tears to do so.

Persevere – is a roar of champions that ignites the hunger and tenacity within our being.

Persevere – meant to spur and stir the fighter that might have even for just a moment lost sight of the achievable goal that lies ahead.

Persevere – the echo of ancient voices and the ground they gained upon which we stand today. 

Persevere – the call to us all to boldly push, boldly stand, to never give up, and never bend or bow to what is simply beneath us.

PESEVERE!

For if we had not, we would not have experienced the victories we enjoy today. For if we do not, we will not relish in the more and leave an empowering, rich legacy of footnotes for others. 

My Friend, Leader, Champion, Trailblazer – persevere. 

Even if no one told you that your journey is one littered with reasons, obstacles, and causes that will always demand you ‘persist, continue, keep going, even in the face of opposition, discouragement, or difficulty.’

My Friend, Leader, Champion, Trailblazer – persevere. 

And always remember that even in the face of ‘IT’ – ‘IT’ meaning whatever opposition, discouragement, or difficulty might be present, that you have already won.

My Friend, Leader, Champion, Trailblazer – persevere. 

For, it’s not too hard, it’s absolutely possible. It’s not too much, you’re well able. It’s not too dark, you are the light carrier. It’s not too complex, you are the solution. It’s not too heavy, it’s remarkably an easy lift when you do it in God’s strength.

Persevere – for the next generation and generation, and even the now generation calls for your rise, for your shine, your grace, your fight, your strength, your boldness, your beacon, your bellow, your purpose, your voice, your lessons learned, they call for you. 

Persevere – and exude the strength of your God, your father, your creator who is able to do all things but fail. 

Persevere – is our command, contract, and obligation.

Persevere – and let the whole world know that they must, and they can.
