Courage is the first of all human virtues… yet

Perseverance is much more than courage.

Perseverance is a commitment to courage

Enough courage to stay the course and suspend beliefs about human frailty.

An unwavering commitment that allows one to be uninhibited by adversity.

So keep moving “Forward” whatever the odds.

Overcoming each and every obstacle with patience and steadfast persistence.

Knowing your effort inspires others, and in doing so, renews the power of the human spirit.

A spirit that is uniquely beautify – hidden within each of us.
