Persistence



The Warrior of the Light knows the value of persistence and courage. Often, during combat, he receives blows that he was not expecting. And he realizes that, during war, his enemy is bound to win some of the battles. When this happens, he weeps bitter tears and rest in order to recover his energy a little.
But he immediately resumes his battle for his dreams.

The longer he remains away, the more likely he is to feel weak, fearful, and intimidated.
When a horseman falls off his horse, if he does not remount immediately, he will never have the courage to do so again.

-Warrior of the Light, by - Paulo Coelho
