Persistence for success

Nothing in this world can take the place of good old persistence. Talent won't. Nothing's more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius won't. Unrecognized genius is practically a cliche. Education won't. Why the world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful.”

There’s no substitute, there’s no replacement for it.Persistence… To set a goal… to have a dream… and to NOT STOP until you achieve what you want.

Persistence is a quality of winners… I believe it’s within all of us and if it is within all of us…. it must be within YOU.

Nothing great can be achieved without persistence… because nothing great comes to those who QUIT when things get hard…

The will to persist through challenges, the strength to persevere in hard times…. That is what will carry you from the bottom to the top… from no way to FINDING A WAY.

Not many people have persistence… and that is why not many people have the life they want.

These days… most people are looking for a shortcut… the new secret sauce… the next get rich quick scheme… or the next super secret ingredient… but truth be told… The secret is to get started… KEEP GOING and NEVER STOP… not through success and absolutely NEVER through failure or challenges… THAT IS EXACTLY WHEN YOU MUST PERSIST.

We all want fast wins, but greatness takes time! You can’t rush your greatness, you have to put in the TIME… if you’re not willing to put in the TIME you don’t deserve the REWARDS.

If… in any field of your choosing… you’re willing to go the distance… willing to keep working improving and keep moving forward… you WILL… eventually come on top… it really is that simple

Set your targets and keep moving forward. Just don’t.. EVER…STOP.

Read the stories of any great entrepreneur, inventor, sports person… they all have one thing in common – PERSISTENCE. They stayed in the game longer than their competitors… they refused to accept temporary defeat as permanent failure… the KEPT GOING no matter what… and in the end they got their rewards.

Life… it’s a journey… a beautiful journey but a tough journey. It can be heaven or it can be hell and a lot of people would claim it is hell – if you’re one of those people you can climb out of that hell – and the first place to start is by changing your OWN MENTALITY. That might not be what you want to hear, but it is the only thing that is going to give you a drastically different life.

When you have strong goals, and your mentality is strong – you can face more, you can take more, you WILL PERSEVERE MORE and because of all of that you will WIN MORE and enjoy life MORE.

NEVER STOP MOVING FORWARD! NEVER!

OBSTACLES… CHALLENGES… TEMPORARY DEFEAT… WHATEVER COMES… KEEP GOING!

KNOW, THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FAIL IS TO QUIT.

PERSIST AND EVENTUALLY YOU WILL WIN.

DO NOT STOP!

DO NOT GIVE UP! COMMIT TO YOURSELF!

Will the journey be difficult…yes

Will you stop… NO!!

Will you feel like quitting…. yes… But will you quit…. NO!!

YOU WON’T QUIT IF YOUR GOALS MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU!

SO MAKE GOALS SO POWERFUL THAT IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO GIVE UP!

GOALS SO POWERFUL THAT… When the world is against you… friends are against you… even you might be against yourself… YOU WILL DIG DEEP AND PERSIST… THROUGH ANYTHING!

You DON’T need talent. You DON’T need to be the best. You DON’T need to be the smartest… You might even start at a disadvantage… but if you are SO COMMITTED to your goals that you will PERSIST THROUGH ANYTHING… I guarantee you… eventually, one day you will come out on top and YES!!! IT WILL BE WORTH IT!

If you persist… something will give. If you persist… things eventually go your way.

Most people don’t go the distance… you have to be willing to go the distance! It may take you years to get to where you want to go… most people aren’t committed for years… they’re barely committed for 5 minutes… I don’t know about you but I think it is better to trade a few years of struggle for a lifetime of pride.

Set your goals, get going and do not stop!

You say you want it? Well… you have to put in the long hours, you have to put in the overtime, go the extra mile, the extra step, the late nights, the sleepless nights, the hard times, the impossible times. Those are the tests sent for you to prove you deserve this…

Life is going to test you, it’s going to throw EVERYTHING your way… I think these things are sent to see if you really want what you say you want.

Not everybody is willing to give it their all to get what they want, the majority will quit at any sign of resistance… But you have to be in the uncommon group of people that know what they want and won’t stop until they get it.

What can stop the unstoppable?

Again I ask?

What can stop the unstoppable?!

Nothing…

What can stop the unstoppable?

Again I ask?

What can stop the unstoppable?!

Nothing…

Not everyday will go well, not everything you try will work, you won’t always knock it out of the park and you’ll probably fail many more times then you’ll succeed but what would happen if you set your goals and targets and just didn’t ever stop moving towards them?

Just think about what you could achieve if you always made that EXTRA EFFORT… Sent that extra e-mail, put in the extra work, worked overtime, did an extra set, an extra rep, the extra mile… How good would your life be now if you decided TEN YEARS AGO to always do extra? No point crying about that now – but don’t look back in another ten years and wish you did extra… don’t look back in 1 year and wish you PERSISTED through challenges.

Set your goals NOW and write a commitment to yourself:

I WILL PERSIST UNTIL I GET THIS GOAL!

I WILL NOT STOP… UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UNTIL I FIND A WAY TO MAKE MY GOAL MY REALITY.

Yes there are people that may be more talented than you, people that have more money, more opportunity, more support, more help, more ability, more everything… But persistence…will be your equaliser… Your secret weapon.

You have it within you, you ARE special and you have it within!

Keep moving forward…
