You cannot change how you live, your lifestyle, unless you have perseverance. No matter what you set your mind to do, you must persevere through any trials, rough days, or setbacks you face.
I have started on a journey that requires an entire change in lifestyle, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. I must train and persevere through every trial and setback I face. I will persevere and be joyful through it because I know this:
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 1:2-4)
