"Perseverance is a posative, active characteristic. It is not idly passively waiting and hoping for some good thing to happen. It gives us hope by helping us realize that the righteous suffer no failure except in giving up and no longer trying."
-Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
Perseverance is something I think my life has lacked a little in the past few months. I do not think, when I look back honestly, that I have been actively working to overcome the difficulties I have had in life lately. Rather I have been hoping that my problems would fix themselves and that I would somehow wake up and I would have no problems. That is not the way life works. You would think that I would have figured that out by now. Unfortunately it seems when it comes to life lessons I seem to be a bit of a slow learner. Heavenly Father has me in the remedial trials class year after year it seems and I just can't seem to get it into my head that if I want different results from my life then I have to take the first step and act. I hope that this time I learn my lesson once and for all (don't hold your breath on that one).
