I Persevere
By Collin Searls
Perseverance
Others choose not to persevere because they think the obstacle is impossible. It depends on the point of view to persevere and succeed. If one believes the obstacle is impossible to overcome, they will not succeed. Others, who choose to make the impossible, possible, they are the determined, and resilient ones, the ones who succeed
