Before we get into today's reading, I'm delighted to let you know that you can find me on YouTube; I'd appreciate it if you checked it out.

When plans fail, or life throws us a curveball, it cannot be easy to keep going. We've all had to persevere in the face of hardship, but it's essential to keep going no matter how tough things become.

Resilience is displayed whenever we do not give up on a goal.

It's natural to feel discouraged when our plans fall through, but it takes courage and perseverance to try again. This trait can get us far and help us accomplish our objectives.

“A bend in the road is not the end of the road… unless you fail to make the turn.” – Helen Keller

Remember that failure is a necessary part of progress; it's the only way we learn. We can't learn from our mistakes if we give up the moment we make them. However, if we don't give up, we'll never know how much we could have accomplished with the knowledge we now have.

If we keep striving, we will ultimately get there. That's the single most compelling argument for not giving up. Keep going, keep trying, and we will get where we're going. Bear in mind that there is always hope and that setbacks are just temporary.

It's critical to keep trying even if initial efforts are unsuccessful. If we don't give up, we can show that we are strong, learn from our mistakes, and be successful.

Therefore, it is essential to remember that there are always reasons to keep trying, even when things seem hopeless.
