Perseverance

  Today I noticed a little plaque in my house that I had neglected to pay attention to. It was titled " PERSEVERANCE ", and said under it " The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. " ( written by Moliere ) I thought what this quote could mean and why someone would chose every word they did.  The purpose of this author's message was to encourage people to fight strong in whatever they may be facing. 

   It really touched me and reminded me of my mother.  About six years back, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The situation was so lurid for my family, and made me aware that there was a chance I could lose this woman in my life that I depended on and loved so much. But when I look at this quote and think about how my mother fought through and battled that cancer, the great strength and faith she gained along the way was her glory. She persevered and never gave up, even at times when it was hard and she felt like it, and in the end was rewarded with a life to live for. It brings tears to my eyes witnessing how far my mother has come. If she can make it through something as tough as cancer, I always tell myself to NEVER give up.  Remind yourself as well to always push through because in the end it will be worth it.
