“Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.”― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Success doesn’t come easily, you try and try again until you succeed.
I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.”

Forgiveness
“Forgiveness simply means loving someone enough to pursue healing instead of punishment when they have wronged you.”
― Dave Willis
When we pray we say forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. We set a condition to our own forgiveness. Do we remember to forgive others so that we are forgiven? Interesting.
“People do make mistakes and I think they should be punished. But they should be forgiven and given the opportunity for a second chance. We are human beings.”
― David Millar
“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?”
― Mary Manin Morrissey
Faithfulness
God remains faithful to his people. He will never leave us not forsake us. There are so many thing that we face in this life which can potentially destroy us but because of God’s faithfulness we are not destroyed. He gives us strength to continue. 
Optimism
“I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can’t make it through one door, I’ll go through another door – or I’ll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.”
― Rabindranath Tagore
The beauty of a day is not because something favorable happened to you, but the beauty of it is when you wake up and know that there is LIFE in you. So don’t focus on your challenges, disappointments and what you lack in life, but give thanks to God for the gift of life. You were born to succeed.
Today I read this from an unknown writer:
“If you show somebody better, they’re going to do better.”
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”
— Napoleon Hill
“Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.”
― Miguel Angel Ruiz
“The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.”
― Ralph Marston
Joy comes in the morning
No matter how dark and frightening the night is the light comes in the morning.
James 1:
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
×References for James 1:3
Cross References
– 1 Peter 1:7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8. Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
8 1:3 – S Hebrews 10:36.For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
The morning will surely come and bring joy with it. Have faith in God.
