â...This is perseverance. And with it, Emerson said, âwith the exercise of self-trust, new powers shall appear.â The good thing about true perseverance is that it canât be stopped by anything besides death. To quote Beethoven: âThe barriers are not erected which can say to aspiring talents and industry, Thus far and no farther.â
We can go around or under or backward. We can decide that momentum and defeat are not mutually exclusiveâwe can keep going, advancing, even if weâve been stopped in one particular direction.
Our actions can be constrained, but our will canât be. Our plansâeven our bodiesâcan be broken. But belief in ourselves? No matter how many times we are thrown back, we alone retain the power to decide to go once more. Or to try another route. Or, at the very least, to accept this reality and decide upon a new aim.
Determination, if you think about it, is invincible. Nothing other than death can prevent us from following Churchillâs old acronym: KBO - Keep Buggering On!â
