All Down Hill

The weight of perseverance.
 
Persistence is often a solitary struggle, one that pits us against forces far greater than ourselves. Like Sisyphus endlessly pushing his boulder up the hill, we continue striving even when the task seems futile. The weight of our efforts may feel crushing, but within that strain is the true measure of our character. Are we defined by the relentless climb, or by our ability to push forward despite the constant threat of failure?
 
In the tension between effort and the overwhelming forces pushing us back, we find the strength to persevere, with each ascent shaping who we are.
