Sometimes it comes as a surprise to me, as to why it has taken so long to make me realise something , however it is better late than never to figure out things in our lives and progress because of that. A life lesson that I’ve learnt recently was something I definitely needed to wake up from the current episode I am dealing with and the final hurdle to help with moving forward.
I’ve learnt that there’s a difference between endurance and perseverance. Endurance is waiting around for the problems to blow over, waiting out the pain and the issues to pass by without doing anything about it.
Perseverance is that you keep trying no matter how much you get knocked back. You push forward despite the issues.
As a student, it’s very easy to just endure everything that comes your way, to just get on with it, and not allow your abilities to become more than what you are learning, however if you persevere , you can see a bigger story to your future, and practice what you aspire to be. I’ve never thought I would get this far in terms of University, and there are times I wish I could give up especially the past couple of months but the end is near and it’s time for me to wake up and keep going.
Focus.
