Perseverance leads to Success

This year has been a difficult year for most if not all of us and it seems that it will continue to be the same; as we live through this pandemic that has embraced 2020. We live amidst change in a world that keeps on changing. Sometimes it is difficult to find your perspective, but we have to keep going. We need to persevere.

Perseverance is attempting to achieve success and your desired goals even when faced with adversity and potential failure along the way.

You achieve not simply by trying, but by persevering; it is not simply a matter of luck. It is taking the time to learn a trade or a skill, applying your knowledge and sticking with it. Using that knowledge and the experience gained to continuously improve and make better.

It’s easy to say, “I can do it”. But those who persevere don’t just say it – they do it and they live it.
