Perseverance and Grit

“What is to give light must endure burning.” Viktor Frankl

I believe that perseverance and grit are the keys to achieving our goals and overcoming obstacles in life. I think that sticking it out and having that never-give-up attitude is key to reaching our goals and tackling whatever life throws at us. These attributes give us the strength to push through tough times and keep going, no matter how hard things get. With perseverance and grit leading the way, we can handle all the ups and downs that life throws at us and come out even stronger and more resilient in the end.

It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it in the end. As Victor Frankl once said, “What is to give light must endure burning.” This quote resonates with me because it reminds me that to shine bright and achieve greatness, we must be willing to endure the challenges and hardships that come our way.



Life is full of ups and downs, but it’s how we handle those moments that define us. When faced with adversity, it’s important to stay strong, keep pushing forward, and never give up. It’s in those difficult times that we discover our true strength and resilience.

"Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!" Psalm 27:14

So, to anyone out there who may be struggling or feeling discouraged, remember that you have the power within you to persevere and overcome any obstacle that comes your way.

Keep pushing forward, keep fighting, and never lose sight of your goals.

In the end, all the hard work and determination will pay off, and you will emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before.

“ We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” 
2 Corinthians 4:8-12 (NIV)

“Over time, grit is what separates fruitful lives from aimlessness.”

— John Ortberg
