About this Event
Women's Spiritual Journey discusses Perseverance
Women's Spiritual Journey randomly picks a different character trait to discuss each month. Discussions are freewheeling, guided by the interests of the group. Generally, we think about how the quality operates in our lives (or doesn't), what it looks like, what it produces, and how we can strengthen it. Diverse backgrounds and viewpoints are celebrated: we are enriched by it! This month we're discussing...
Perseverance
Perseverance is the will to carry on. Once we discern our true direction, we stay the course for however long it takes, regardless of the obstacles that arise. When creativity inspires us, we do the work required to bring it to fruition. We patiently pursue our goals, remaining steadfast and focused. We persist with a task until it is completed. People can trust us to finish what we start. When our relationships are tested, we have the commitment to work things through. We are determined to succeed.
“Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there’s love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.” ~Ella Fitzgerald
“…perseverance in prayer will give you the strength to continue your efforts.” ~The Universal House of Justice
