The Life Changing Power of Perseverance

In a journey of healing, perseverance is your secret weapon.

I’d like to talk about one of my favourite powerful and affirming words. Perseverance. 

Now, I’m not talking about the kind of perseverance that has you checking off your to-do list. I’m talking about a deep, steadfast dedication towards yourself and the betterment of your life. That relentless spirit within you that refuses to give up, no matter what.

And yes, we all have it! You may not have met yours yet, but trust me, it’s there. And it’s one of your most powerful secret weapons. 

We all know life can throw some pretty awful curveballs our way. Perhaps you still nurse old battle scars or wounds that sting a little too much? But here’s what you need to remember about adversity and life. 

It is absolutely worth persevering for. 

Those wounds that threaten to block you? You can heal them through perseverance, and every ounce of effort you give this is a worthy pursuit. Your journey right now might not be easy, but it's shaping you into a resilient, strong, and absolutely unique human being. 

Often when we're feeling hurt or broken we can believe the lie that we're not worth the effort. We may even think we don't deserve the time and energy it takes to heal. But this is your life we’re talking about, and there is nothing more worthy of your energy and time. You are worth going all the way for and I promise you, the more you see this, the more life reinforces it and confirms it back to you. 

The most inspiring tales are often of people who faced incredible challenges, but didn’t let those challenges define them. They chose to rise above and keep going, even when it felt impossible. They tapped into their inner strength and found a way to persevere. It’s not about putting band-aids on bullet wounds, it’s about diving deep within, acknowledging the pain, and choosing to move forward anyway. 

So, here's your gentle reminder: Keep going. Even when it's tough. Even when you want to throw in the towel. Your journey to healing is worth every moment of perseverance. 

You are worth going the entire way for. 

So believe in your ability to persevere and celebrate every small victory along the way. Because each one is a step closer to the incredible, healed version of yourself. I assure you, no matter how complicated or difficult it seems, perseverance will always bring you out the other side.
