Our final perseverance quote reminds us to focus on doing our personal best and not worry about what others are doing. When we concentrate on the things we can control — like our choices, our effort, and our attitude — we are more likely to solve problems and succeed.

Maybe your words, your actions, or how you organize your things!

MONDAY
Perseverance means continuing to work through hard things and not giving up when something feels tough. Challenges are the things that stand in our way — like solving a tricky math problem or making a basket when the wind is blowing strong.
Perseverance isn’t always easy, but it’s about finding ways to keep going. Sometimes that means trying again, sometimes it means using a new strategy, and sometimes it means asking for help. All of these are great ways to grow!
Keep practicing perseverance and giving your best effort every day, Jefferson!
