To persevere over something can indicate that you obtained a victory of various sorts.  The types of victories that we have in our lives can be measured as being large or small.  What I have realized over the years is that all victories can actually be great ones.  Depending on your perspective, your achievement could have been a long time waiting to happen or perhaps it came more quickly and easily.  A lot of this can also be due to one's preparation for their conquests, as that can be where the blood, sweat and tears were spent in attempting to align oneself with the action that they wanted to see ascertained.  A small string of victories put together can actually add up to a very large one.  However, if you were the type of person that did not count the small one's, the opportunity to see the larger one could have been missed.  I also see this as similar to those people that seek to have more abundance in their lives.  When one usually thinks of abundance, it can have connotations that it is measured in large quantities.  However, it is the accumulation of small abundance that over time, can equal the great outcome that one could have been waiting for.  When you appreciate the small things, it can be due to the attention to detail that one shows to everything around them.  Such as, when you pay attention to someone who says thank you to you, while looking you in your eyes or a simple greeting from a friend that is checking in to see if you are okay, all of it can have a much larger meaning as time goes by.  When I go walking around my neighborhood and run into a house with great landscaping, I appreciate the hard work that has gone into this great planning of foliage.  However, I always look for the smallest flowers that are embedded in these great artistic displays, as they usually show some of the brightest and most unique color formations, without being the largest in the display.  Remember that as you seek to persevere and have greater victory in your life over anything, it can be the smallest of achievements that can turn the tide in your favor.  Celebrate all achievements with equal enthusiasm without distinguishing between the small or large ones.  Your ability to adjust your view to see all of these things in a different light, can allow for you to find that victory or abundance that you seek to attract to your fulfilled life.
