Unwavering

In a week of natural and man-made disasters how do we explain the unwavering human spirit? This week, we delve into the essence of perseverance and faith, exploring how these qualities shape our lives and help us overcome challenges. Fortunately, we have the insights and experiences of musicians, famous and unknown, to suggest a few answers.  They relentlessly and obstinately sing about staying the course and believing in the unseen. How do we exercise the strength of the human heart and mind? In the tracks chosen today we may discover some of the secrets of where the motivation comes from to face life’s trials with courage and conviction. And I’ve found some great advice from some of the world’s greatest thinkers to accompany them.
