PERSEVERANCE
“Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance.”
~ Samuel Johnson
Today I saw a staggering drunk in a parking lot. Last night in a meeting, I witnessed a frail person celebrate ten years of sobriety. The difference? Perseverance. People always get what they really want in life.
If I want sobriety more than anything else and am prepared to go to any lengths, nothing will stop me. Perseverance reveals the “walk” as well as the “talk.”
Today I need to remember that what is worth having may require sacrifice and effort. God helps those who are prepared to help themselves. Today I intend to help myself to sobriety.
May I always persevere through my fears toward my goals.
