#30. In the first episode of this deeply personal 5-part series, I, Anne Mbugua, reflect on one of the most profound lessons my mother taught me: perseverance. Through her journey—especially after losing her sight—my mum showed me that perseverance isn’t loud or showy. It’s steady. It’s the quiet decision to keep going when life gets hard. It’s choosing joy, hope, and presence again and again.

💡 Key Takeaways:

- Perseverance is choosing to keep going, even in the face of loss or uncertainty.
- My mother didn’t allow her blindness to limit her joy, curiosity, or generosity.
- Perseverance is essential to wisdom—it turns what we know into how we live.
- Tiny steps forward are still progress.
- We grow stronger not by avoiding difficulty, but by moving through it with grace.

🛠️ How to Cultivate Perseverance:

- Set small, realistic goals during hard seasons
- Celebrate small wins
- Surround yourself with people who help you remember your “why”
- Take breaks, but don’t quit

🧠 Reflection Question:

When was the last time you wanted to give up but didn’t? What helped you keep going?

And remember — your story matters.
