perseverance

Perseverance is the ability to keep moving forward, even through opposition or difficulty. How many times do we feel like giving up or not following through on plans or goals or dreams when the going gets tough? When the going gets tough is exactly when the tough need to get going. Over the years since my son passed, I have had the strong desire to strengthen my connection to him so that we can continue our relationship together. It may not be in the same way as it was when he was here, but it is definitely still continuing on a soul, spiritual level. It has taken a lot of hard work and perseverance to maintain this new relationship. Over the years, it wanes and flows at different intensities. This makes it quite difficult and challenging at times. But the key is to not ever give up and to accept that there will be times when I feel him more closely and then other times when he feels so very far away. I have learned to trust that when I don’t feel him as close by, it is more so because of me. I may be more physically distracted with my day to day physical human self and not as tapped into my soul’s higher self. When this happens I seem to start feeling anxious and a bit depressed. I need to remind myself that he hasn’t gone anywhere. I am just not focusing where I need to be focused. Through perseverance and determination, I know I can rely on my son to make his beautiful presence known to reassure me that we are and always will be eternally connected.
