It has taken me a very long time to realize this about life, but perseverance has become a character trait that I've come to greatly admire. I have done so many things in life that have not worked out the way that I had wished, so many goals and projects that have failed miserably. I have spent my share of life being downcast and discouraged.
But I have always been able to rise again, by the grace of God, and keep on keeping on, as they say. Being unwilling to give up , even in the midst of failure, is a trait that has taken me years to acquire. Taking a look around me, it seems like perseverance is a personality trait that is greatly scarce in modern society.
In our current economy, it's so easy to become discouraged, to give up and not strive for anything better in life. But giving up can only lead to failure. I have already failed such a number of times, it doesn't frighten me anymore to dream big and to then watch my dreams crumble. I know that I am able to get back up and find something new to pour my effort into.
That's why I believe that perseverance is a road to happiness. Without perseverance, without the will to continue trying even in the middle of failure, a person is always haunted by the thoughts that they could have done better with their lives. Regret starts to crawl in and the wonderings of what if I'd have only worked at this or that dream?
So long as I keep trying, I'll lay my head down on the pillow at night without regrets. I can wake up in the morning and work diligently, not being too worried when things begin to fall apart, still having the confidence that regardless of if everything crumbles, I will get right back up again, dust myself off, and begin working on something new. Perseverance really is a path to happiness.
