Embrace the power of perseverance from "summary" of Becoming by Michelle Obama
It was a feeling I had grown used to over the years - the sense that I was constantly up against some unseen obstacle, that I was forever having to prove myself. But rather than letting it defeat me, I chose to embrace it. I embraced the power of perseverance. Perseverance, to me, means refusing to give up, no matter how tough things get. It means pushing through the doubts and the fears, and coming out stronger on the other side. It means believing in yourself, even when no one else does. I learned the importance of perseverance at a young age. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, I quickly realized that the odds were stacked against me. But instead of letting that discourage me, I used it as fuel to drive me forward. Every setback, every disappointment, only made me more determined to succeed. As I got older, I faced even more challenges. Whether it was dealing with racism and sexism in the workplace, or trying to balance my career with being a mother, I never lost sight of my goals. I knew that if I wanted to make a difference, I had to keep going, no matter what. It wasn't always easy. There were plenty of times when I wanted to throw in the towel, to just give up and walk away. But each time I felt that way, I reminded myself of why I was fighting in the first place. I reminded myself of all the people who were counting on me to succeed. And so I kept going. I kept pushing forward, even when it felt like the world was against me. I refused to let anyone or anything stand in my way. I refused to let the doubts and the fears consume me. Instead, I channeled that energy into something positive, into something powerful. Perseverance is not just about never giving up. It's also about finding strength in the face of adversity, about digging deep and tapping into your inner reserves of courage and determination. It's about believing in yourself, even when the world tells you that you're not good enough. So embrace the power of perseverance. Embrace it with all your heart and soul. Because I can tell you from experience - it's the one thing that will never let you down.
