Profiles In Perseverance

Its very rare that individuals can skate by in life and not have events occur that test one's inner resources and reserve. Some have to face very high obstacles. But we need to persevere, I mean what's the alternative. Many do take the alternative. There is a type of saying in Buddhism and I paraphrase, but it teaches that there is no obstacle that occurs in any one individual's life that is not too big to endure. What we encounter, we can endure. You might disagree.
