=//Urge and Urge and Urge// = media type="youtube" key="9myoXFk-O4U" height="344" width="425" align="center" =Question: What is the value of struggle? = 

Response:
I struggle and persevere to better myself for God because he has a purpose for my life. It is my job here, on Earth, to fully explore/utilize/exploit/ employ/exercise all my opportunities and strengths so I can grow and learn in the hope that my struggles and accomplishments will glorify the Lord. Every challenge I conquer, I learn from, and even failures cannot be looked at as a waste of time because I learn from my mistakes.  My Personal Philosophy

Let us settle ourselves, and work and wedge our feet downward through the mud till we come to a hard bottom… because where there is no  //struggle,// there is no  **strength** **.**

These impulses may be from below, not from above, but **God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. ** So I stay and //**struggle.**//



I am but fulfilling a duty, obeying the Almighty effort; the passionate energy of my mind will enable me to excel in my individual purpose. =Urge and urge and urge = <span style="color: #1bbb20; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;">To affect the quality of the day. **<span style="color: #1bbb20; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">Be it how it will, do right now. ** <span style="color: #1bbb20; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;">The force of character is cumulative, all the foregone days of virtue work their health into life. <span style="font-family: Times-Bold; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

Tho’ I never arrive at the perfection I am so ambitious of obtaining, I renew thyself completely each day; do it again, and again, and forever again to reawaken and keep myself awake and know by experience <span style="color: #1f92e5; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;">how to live deliberately and Glorify God and enjoy him forever.

You gain **strength**, **courage**, and **confidence** by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. Whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but **pure joy**, because you know that the testing of your faith produces **endurance**. media type="youtube" key="tGfJ0_KMiro" height="344" width="425" align="center"

I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. So do your work, do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself. By the endeavor, I become a better and happier man than I otherwise should have been if I had not attempted it. It is error upon error that helps me to realize my full potential. <span style="color: #b832dc; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: left;">The scar means that I was stronger than whatever it was that tried had tried to hurt me. media type="youtube" key="FlMBcTGJ4YM" height="344" width="425" align="center"
