Abraham Lincoln lived a life full of challenges yet persevered. Without those experiences, he might never have done all the great things he accomplished. From his poor upbringings, he faced many struggles. Multiple businesses failed. He lost his fiance’. He wrestled with depression. He even had a child die. From a political standpoint, he would go on to suffer defeats in political campaign after political campaign. ‍ Finally, his breakthrough came at 52 years of age as he was elected the 16th President of the United States. His challenges didn’t go away as he was thrust into a Civil War, but he was equipped to handle it. His Gettysburg Address is known as one of the most powerful speeches given in history. His Emancipation Proclamation led to the abolishment of slavery. ‍ In 2017, C-Span polled noted historians and Lincoln was selected as the greatest president in U.S. History. Even though he scored high in many categories, the historians held him in highest esteem for his crisis leadership. One has to wonder what would have ever become of Abraham Lincoln – and the United States – if he had just given up when tragedies, obstacles, and challenges came his way. ‍ His setbacks were just a setup for a comeback. ‍ #AbrahamLincoln #GettysburgAddress #AbeLincoln #HandlingAdversity #Perseverance #SuccessIsAChoice #Comebacks #OvercomingChallenges #OvercomingAdversity #MotivationalMinute #Motivation #Inspiration #FailForward #AndyAndrews #PrepareForGreatness #Adversity https://www.instagram.com/p/ClhROwVO44U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Plan your vote. Gettysburg Address: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
