A lesson in PERSEVERANCE




 Musique : Songbird – Barbra Streisand

Have you ever observed the behaviour of birds
          in the face of adversity?
For days and days they make their nests, sometimes
     gathering materials brought from far away
And when they have completed the nest and are ready to
  lay eggs, the weather, or the work of humans, or some
animal, destroys it, and it falls to the ground, all that they
              have done with so much effort
Do they stop ?

Bewildered, and
   leave the
    work ?
No way. They start over building the nest again and again
         until they have eggs in the nest again.
Sometimes,and very often before the chicks are are hatched, an
animal, a child, or a storm destroys the nest once again, but this
                 time with its valuable contents.
It hurts to go back to begin again… Even so, the birds do not
ever stop, they continue to sing and build, and keep singing and
                          building…..
Do you sometimes get the feeling that your life, your work,
    your family is not what you had dreamed. Do you
    sometimes want to say “enough”, the effort is not
          worthwhile. It is all too much for me!
Are you tired of it all? Do you feel that the daily struggle is a
 waste of time, your trust has been betrayed, your goals not
        reached just as you were about to get them?
Life strikes you down sometimes, but do you go on, say a
 prayer, put your faith in hope, not darkness? Do not worry
if you get injured in the battle, that is to be expected. Gather
             yourself together and rebuild your life,
                    so that it runs well again.
No matter what happens… Do not shrink back, but move
forward. Life is a constant challenge, but it is worthwhile
      to mostly accept it. And never stop singing.
Do not keep this to yourself….
