Suddenly the weather has warmed up and the weather forecast is suggesting that we will have a dry week. One of my purposes for April this year, was to get working on the outdoor construction project that we started last summer. Now is the time for me to be steadfast to this project, get started and persevere until it is finished. My job is to continue painting. I need to pace myself so that I get sufficient done everyday without it being a problem getting my other activities done as well.
“Steadfastness is being steady, persevering and dependable. We remain true to our purpose through whatever happens. Steadfastness grows whenever we rise to a challenge. It bolsters our will to keep going when life tests our resolve. We choose a direction, then keep a steady pace. We are faithful and enduring with those we love. We commit ourselves to something for however long it may take. We are like a strong ship in a storm. We don’t allow ourselves to be battered or blown off course. We hold on and ride the waves.”
I am practicing Steadfastness when I:
- choose my commitments wisely
- remain true to my purpose
- pace myself
- am faithful to my relationships
- don’t allow doubts or tests to blow me off course
- take what comes and persevere.
