Perseverance Means Succeeding Because you Are Determined To Not Destined To

Vince Lombardi stated once, :The difference between a successful person and others is not lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of determination.” The greatest achievers don’t sit back and wait for success because they think they deserve it. They keep moving forward because they are determined to achieve it.

Perseverance is Needed To Release Most of Life’s Rewards

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. It is always the last steps of the race that count the most.

Perseverance Recognizes Life Is Not A Long Race, But Many Short Ones In Succession

Have you ever heard the phrase; Life is a marathon? Actually I would liken it to more of a series of smaller wins. For example Today Matters. What are you doing to win today. It is great to have a forward looking vision, but do not miss today’s opportunities.

Perseverance Draws Sweetness Out of Adversity

The trials and pressures of life often define us. When confronted by adversity many people give up while others rise up? Giving up when adversity threatens can make a person bitter. Persevering through adversity makes one better!

Perseverance Has A Compounding Effect On Life

Napoleon Hill stated, Every successful person finds that great success lies just beyond the point when they are convinced their idea is not going to work. How do you push through? Keep doing the right things daily. There are no shortcuts to anything worthwhile.

Perseverance Means Stopping Not Because You’re Tired But Because The Task Is Done

Robert Strauss stated that success is a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don’t quit when your tired – you quit when the gorilla is tired. Fatigue and discouragement are not signs to quit! Your strength of character rises up within you and you stay motivated to see things through.

Perseverance Doesn’t Demand More Than We Have But All That We Have

It has been said that in every victory there is a lot of try! Perseverance is an investment. It is a willingness to bind oneself emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually to an idea until it has been completed. Perseverance demands a lot, but here is the good news; everything you give is an investment in yourself.
