It’s really about self motivation when it comes right down to the carrying on of things when others all around are retreating, laying blame or quitting.
Tenacity is a good word. It means never giving in or up. It means going that extra mile when it appears all is going against you.
We can hold within our hearts excellent hopes and dreams for our futures (an important thing to do, absolutely) but beyond this, it is a “forged in fire, keep on keeping on”attitude of unrelenting determination that will get the job done.
And even more important is recognizing that with self reliance and self motivation for your own personal goals you become a torch bearer for others. Lifting up their spirits, letting them know all things are still possible, giving them something to believe in, not just you but themselves as well.
It’s called leading by example when you go on while others are feeling too tired, fearful or worried.
Know then that the feeling of helpless hopelessness cannot survive in an atmosphere of loving strength and peaceful perseverance, it just can’t! Which is why … We Go On!

Take care of you,

Just because the light in the tunnel is someone with a torch, doesn’t mean you have to be disheartened. They could be coming to help guide you out.
So true, my friend, so true!
