Resolve may begin within the individual, but it is sustained by those who came before and those who stand beside us. No one builds a lasting life alone. The discipline, wisdom, and example of others create a path that is easier to follow when our own strength begins to fade.
A resilient person does not mistake self-reliance for isolation. They seek out mentors, communities, and principles that have endured the test of time. When your resolve weakens, borrow strength from the example of those who refused to quit. Their perseverance becomes part of your own.
Reflection: Who are the people, principles, or daily practices that help keep you on the path when your own determination begins to falter?
