Persevere
Broaden your view… but narrow your focus.
Reach for the stars… but don’t lose your roots.
Don’t fear to dream… but keep your perspective.
Open your mind… but don’t forsake truth.
Try to be strong… but don’t condemn weakness.
Strive for horizons… but stay on the path.
Work for success… but don’t fear your failing.
Race for the finish… but not recklessly fast.
Hold your head high… but don’t look down on others.
Know what is yours… but be willing to share.
Live in the light… but don’t fear the darkness.
And when you feel lost, know that God’s always there.
And most importantly: persevere…
