Perseverance: We're Still Standing! Steadfast...Despite the Odds!

“History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.” B.C. Forbes Join veteran artist, Kaldric Dow and I as we divulge inspirational anecdotes encompassing our individual and respective: feats, shortcomings, heartwrenching obstacles and milestones prior to seizing the comet’s tail... yielding luminous redemption beyond the depths of dank tunnels. As referenced in the modern film version of, “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “Life is a storm… You'll bask in the sunlight one moment... be shattered on the rocks the next.. what makes you… is what you do when that storm comes… You must look into that storm…. and say, do your worst, for I will do mine…” Thought provoking questions embody the following: 1) How do you personally define perseverance? Please expound upon this in light of your personal journey? 2) In one of your social media comments you explicitly conveyed that "one monkey don't stop no show," a phrase which we're most familiar with. In what context does this resonate with you? 3) Is there evidence of perseverance despite the tumultuous interval that's befallen us? If so, please enlighten us. 4) How does perseverance correlate to balance and also what advice do you have for our listeners aligned with the topic? 5) How can our contact or follow you?
