Perseverance – to persist in spite of difficulties<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life here on planet earth\u00a0can be\u00a0a test of faith, belief\u00a0and proper principles.<\/span>
\nThere are moments and situations we each face that force us to go to the very core of our beingness and faith.<\/span><\/p>\n

To persevere through life’s hardships is to demonstrate true courage and determination.<\/span>
\nWhen all seems lost, is precisely when the light appears, as it is always darkest just before the dawn.<\/span>
\nThat which does not destroy you makes you stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the important lessons you can learn is to\u00a0follow your truth.<\/span>
\nWhen you are clear on what you want to create and why you must accomplish it,<\/span>
\nyou discover your vision and purpose.\u00a0 This is your dream and your reality.<\/span>
\nDon’t ever give someone else the power to destroy your dream.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is easy to become distracted in life’s many temptations. <\/span>
\nOur culture bombards\u00a0us with information and advertising of what it wants\u00a0you to think.<\/span>
\nIt programs\u00a0you to want certain things and to think in a certain way that benefits the powers that be.<\/span>
\nYour mission is to see through these illusions and discover your truth, your divine plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it money, status, power, homes, cars, fame, or material possessions that make you happy?<\/span>
\nOur does happiness and joy come from within?<\/span>
\nWhen you are living your truth you are naturally expressing your potential and joy.<\/span>
\nDo you have what it takes to follow your dream?<\/span><\/p>\n

Seek to discover what is true for you.<\/span>
\nNever underestimate the size of someone’s heart, especially your own.<\/span>
\nAnything is possible when you have the right attitude, energy and a definite purpose.<\/span>
\nAll great achievements have been made because people listened to their hearts and visions, not their critics. Failure is only temporary unless you quit.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Never give up, for that is the place and time that the tides will turn.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
