Perseverance: the ability to continue on no matter the obstacles. When others fall to the back of the pack, the strong have the ability to continue on no matter the journey. Trudging through the desert with sand-filled winds ripping at your skin, you continue on. In the downpour of a storm or the cold blistering snows at night, you continue on. To build your nest egg for decades only to have it burned to the ground, force then to rebuild from scratch. Though you don't deserve it, you continue on. You always have and you always will.
This week, Madi watches the first episode of HBO's Watchmen and Zach tells us all about the beginning flashback scene.
