Now is everything. Inspiration is everywhere. Perseverance is power.

Welcome! I created this site as a place where people can visit and witness the power of perseverance and see how it has helped people overcome incredible obstacles and achieve great things. I’ve seen this power firsthand from working with children with cancer most of my life. It inspired me to write a book, Perseverance, about these courageous young people and how they used motivation to turn knowledge into action and action into change. Please return here often, and be inspired!

But it needs so much focus that when you feel burned out but haven’t delegated energy to this task, you will have much more work to do than if you had focused all along on maintaining a positive attitude and moving forward. By recognizing even the smallest glimmers of hope and silver linings, you’ll be able to push through tough times and persevere much more effortlessly than if you feel like everything is just plain awful.
