“Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.” – John Quincy Adams

My Thoughts: 

Almost sounds like a witchcraft type of obstacles that just disappears in the air. Somethings are just meant to be such as courage. It is something that comes from within, and many people don’t have it. Some do, but just so many more don’t. It’s nothing like falling in love as that is so much easy. How many people have been in love, most likely everyone. But the main question is how many people have courage? Most likely very few as it is something hard to step up to. The ones who have courage often struggle with life and then succeed very massively.

Difficulties 

What I got from John Quincy Adams is that difficulties end up disappearing and it’s almost like magic. They are lost in the air and never ever to return. Kind of like a ghost just left the soul and disappeared. What it tells me is that sometimes you will have challenges in life which you will struggle with. However, after you struggle, the difficulty will turn to be an easy form. Once the difficulty leaves the body, easiness comes in and it’s a pleasing feeling. Often, a feeling of greatness and accomplishment.

Don’t Give Up

Most importantly, whatever challenge you come across, don’t give up. Face it with courage and accomplish it. Don’t set back and walk away from it, regardless of what it is. There would be no point of life if everything was how you wanted it to be. It’s exactly the opposite as everything is the way God wants it to be. The hard times you face may seem hard, but it’s a test to get you ready for something bigger. Just don’t back down and face whatever obstacle comes your way.
