When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.

[MissItalianDiva]

Just when you think you've got it all together, things you have never seen or heard will present themselves in your life. They will push you, test you and challenge you to do more growing, more learning, more of what we have already done. Very often, when this happens, we are tempted to believe that we have done something wrong or that we missed something. Rarely do we understand that you cannot get too much of a good thing, and growing, learning, and living are all good things.

~Iyanla Vanzant

~ Amber Ward

[Kobi]

Perseverance is a positive, 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. We must never give up, regardless of temptations, frustrations, disappointments, or discouragements.

Joseph P. Wirthlin
