A look at the word "PerSevere"

I was reflecting today on the word "persevere". I find comfort in the fact the word "persevere" has the word "severe" in it. It is not; perdifficult, perhard, peruncomfortable, persadforaday, pertough, perchallenging, peridon'tlikethisverymuch or perthisisnotfun. It is perSEVERE. You know, I want to  persevere.  It is a good word! A strong word. I want to be that person.

But, to earn the title...sometimes you have to get beyond uncomfortable. You have to dive into severe and sometimes you are never going to know when that "severe" feeling is going to end. It doesn't just get easier, it is severe and you have to just hang on and get through it.


My little thought for the day.
