There are many kinds of perseverance. Boring kinds and inside kinds.

Still, perseverance is perseverance… whatever kind.

Perseverance is imperfect like being PRETTY successful.

Perseverance is mental like having to deal with a headache.

Perseverance is personal, I like trying hard inside, not outside.

Perseverance is a task like having to put some branches in your truck, but it all falls out on the way to the ecocentre.

Perseverance is daring like being dared to watch a very scary movie you were afraid of watching and only getting halfway through it.

Perseverance is embarrassing like having to change into your bathing suit in the public locker room.

Perseverance means to NOT give up. Perseverance means to keep trying. Perseverance means ain't nobody gonna do it for ya!

Perseverance means you can do it. Perseverance means to have a growth mindset

Perseverance is imperfect but still PRETTY successful!
