Importance Of Perseverance In My Life

The story of Abraham and the covenant can be connected to all of the concepts I just identified. This story is where the Jewish faith first began. God spoke to Abraham and told him to leave his home in Mesopotamia and take him and his family to the land of Canaan. Abraham followed God’s wishes and moved to Canaan in 1800 BCE. Abraham's descendants the Hebrews, lived in Canaan but struggled due to

Every person faces a type of adversity at some point during their lifetime, and in that instance, he or she can choose to give up or persevere. In high school, I was on the football team.

Is perseverance is an essential human quality? In life, we are faced with endless misfortune and difficult decisions. A person can think of how they do in each difficult situation they face the same way a character in a movie goes through the character arc. An example of this is when your mom tells you she can't afford to send you to your favorite summer camp this year. You have two options, Accept that your family can't afford it or raise the money needed by getting a job. Now if really wanted to go camping you would get a job and save the money for summer camp Along the way you would run into issues because of the choice you made to reach your goal.

That is the way life is, with a new game everyday, and that is the way baseball is.” - Bob Feller.

Those are a few ways that baseball has helped me be successful.

My Grandmother and her family immigrated from Mexico at an early age in a dire attempt to discover a life that bettered their quality of life. She had to tolerate working in fields to make money that then fed her at night. Thrust into adulthood at a very young age, she was forced to mature fast. The lessons she learned as a young girl were past down through the generations and have now arrived at me. Hearing of her stories and the struggles she endured has inspired me in my life to live with a strong resilience. I want to prove to the naysayers that with hard work even the seemingly impossible adversities of life can be overcome and concerned.

“Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance” -Samuel Johnson. This quote encompasses one of the underlying and pivotal concepts that I have learned this semester. This is the idea of perseverance. Perseverance has various forms and it shows up in every single book we have read this semester.

The Titanic's maiden voyage was one that killed thousands, one that it didn't kill was Jack Thayer.

Coming into contact with challenges and struggles can seem awful and unwanted at first. But as we get around those struggles and challenges we can look back and be grateful we went through them. Sometimes we can face something so scary it feels as though we will never get through that stage but when we do that person will be so much stronger because they had to go face to face with what scared them. Challenges are bumps in an individual 's road to success, some may appear bigger than others but perseverance can and will help a person to get over those bumps. The more challenges someone gets past helps them get closer to their goals in life. The results we can gain from perseverance can be essential in the future. Sometimes giving up seems like the best thing to do but if an individual can fight through the difficult times to get to the finish line, they will become even stronger of a person then they started. When someone continuously is facing more and more difficult challenges it can seem unnecessary, but it 's not. When one reaches their goal and looks back at what it took to get there it 'll be worth it. In the end, they 'll be stronger mentally and physically because they were tested at every bend in the road. They might have had to let people go or miss out on things but they persisted in reaching their goal. We need perseverance in life. If someone was to never persist when facing an issue then that person

As found on etymonline, perseverance is from Old French Perseverance, “persistence, endurance,” and directly from Latin perseverantia, “steadfastness, constancy”.
