persistence and perseverance is the hardest things to teach. i honestly don’t know if it’s even something that can be taught.. maybe it’s just something that has to be learned by oneself… bc the motivation to push and push and push and to not give up even after multiple failures is decided by oneself. being able to determine and acknowledge what’s worth fighting for can only be decided by you. someone else telling you just doesn’t seem to work. so it’s a fuckin circle.. bc i am determined to teach my kids that giving up is not an option, but ultimately it’s up to them to decide for themselves.
