Persistence, my friend.

by david-nolan

Persistence, my friend; and determination: can mend all the wounds of misfortune; and the the scars of your past. Your scars and wounds stand nothing to time. For in time, no pain lasts. So press on Press on, like they said in times where there was no choice but to press on. And you have no choice. for If you don't, you will very soon be gone. That's not to be morbid, and not to be grim, but you know that as well as I do, so it's with persistence you must glow and with patience you must brim. And not to say that you are weak, but the pain you feel is nothing unique. So persist, my friend. Do not fall with hard times: Press on and find the solace you so sincerely seek. Stand up when you feel like you must fall. Stand up when you cannot stand. Stand up, anyway; and stand up tall. That, my friend, is greatness. To rise above your own self-doubt. To rise beyond limits. To rise above it all. Persistence, my friend: Persistence is key; for until that fog clears up, you will not see your limitless potential and all the infinite beauty that lies not beyond the horizon, but just around the bend. I promise you will find it: But only with Persistence, my friend.
