The Struggle is Real
We have all experienced moments when we didn’t want to keep going. It could be that the obstacles seem insurmountable, or we can’t seem to work through a current difficulty. All those emotions are normal and can be a means for us to dig deeper for the necessary grit to carry on.
Acknowledging and Naming Emotions
What is important is acknowledging your emotions so that they don’t prevent you from persevering. By naming them, you are better able to “tame them.” Perseverance is a virtue that steadies us and strengthens constancy. It enables us to fruitfully keep our commitments and finish our tasks and responsibilities. The fruit of perseverance is joy, in the satisfaction of completing a challenging endeavor.
Finding Joy
As you can see, this virtue has a hidden beauty that develops character and magnifies genuine goodness. I encourage you to see the challenge of perseverance as a chance to manifest your goodness and experience authentic joy.
