Persistence: firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition No doubt, we have days when we want to give up. What may have seemed exciting is now a chore and life mandates that we carry on. Perhaps it’s an issue with your health. Perhaps it’s a constant nagging of guilt or sorrow that won’t go away. We are often left with a choice. Give up, or fight. Persist. Fix our gaze straight ahead and pray through it, play through it, dance through it, or work through it. As I sat down to record today’s interlude I was aware that there are some things I have to persist on. I can’t let up – I can’t let go – I can’t give up. Persist.
