Perseverance

I said I'd be watching, and I have been. I realize we're not all that different. No one wants to turn around or back up. Yet that's often exactly what's needed and required.

This much I know. I'm done living with debt. I've learned a hard lesson even if I'm still paying the consequences. I can't control how others live their lives or try to convince me to live mine. But I still have the power to say "yes I will" or "no I won't". Which response I choose will be a dynamic process. I'm going to continue to help those I can and pray for those I can't. It's simplistic and predictable which makes it an easily exploitable character trait. If an enemy is determined to take me out I probably make an easy target. I have to learn to recognize friend and foe which isn't easy sometimes. So advance and be recognized.
