- Sep 30, 2013
- 1 min read
Merriam-Webster's definition:
1. the quality that allows someone to continue trying to
do something even though it is difficult
2. continued effort to do or achieve something
despite difficulties, failure, or opposition
3. the action or condition or an instance of persevering
If this magnificent woman hadn't had the God-given spirit of PERSEVERANCE we would have been robbed of one of the most esteemed poets of the 20th AND 21st centuries!
Ms. Maya Angelou (also my daughter's namesake) suffered tremendous tragedies and thus, losing her voice as a child.
If she didn't have the spirit to persevere and overcome the tragedies that robbed her of her voice throughout her younger years, we wouldn't have the Queen of Spoken Word today. Her melodious voice resonates with her passion and zeal for the written word.
Forge a spirit of perseverance and press through those times when you may feel the world has taken up arms against you. To keep pressing on when life seems to be pressing down on you.
Keep persevering in this journaling journey...who knows, you may be unleashing your inner poetess.
Peace & Blessings,
~Tracy
