His little face lit up with a smile as his determination was rewarded when he reached his goal and began pushing buttons to watch them light up. That moment brought in a sudden flood of examples of perseverance I have witnessed recently and then Spirit threw in the phrase, “Try, try again.” I can understand why this message is coming in now. We are being challenged globally to persevere in our hope for the future and personally to persevere in our work to attain our life’s goals.

The full phrase that Spirit was reminding me of is the well known “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” In other words, the phrase motivates us to continue our efforts in the face of adversity. It encourages us inferring that we can still achieve our goals despite several attempts and setbacks. In fact, it implies that repeated efforts and learning from mistakes are often a necessary part of success. I am sure every one of you have lived examples of this proverb. Right?
