“The miracle, or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under the prompting of a brave, determined spirit.”
Mark Twain
That is, actively enduring the process of fully living within a commitment.
Enduring.
An active and trusting pursuit of something that is true, necessary and ultimately – permanent. Enduring is and can never be spur of the moment. Enduring is making a complete, all in investment without any guarantee of the outcome.
This takes industry in that you need to work at things. Always and in all ways. Not just with your limbs – but with your mind, your spirit and your soul. It takes application in that you need to use, employ and share the gifts you have been given to the fullest extent. Not in fits and starts – but again – always and in all ways.
As Mr. Twain asserts, it takes a brave and determined spirit to venture forth in this manner. It is never for the faint of heart. There can be no timidity when it comes to perseverance and seeing all things through. For that is when things evolve to become endurance.
You may consider it a miracle when the destination is finally within sight and your grasp.
But it was always that you that had the power to get there, all along.
Endurance seems to be matched to the physical side of things, centered to what is within your core. From a strength perspective.
And yet, endurance is truly all about what you possess from within that enables you to elevate yourself.
And become all you were meant to be.
