Success is uphill all the way

John Maxwell – MIM May 2016

The only way to guarantee losing is to quit right now. There are only three reasons that you should ever quit anything.

• Quite something you do not do well to start something that you do well.
• Quit something you are not passionate about to do something fires up the passion within you.
• Quit something that does not make a difference to pursue something that does make a difference.

Do not just leave a place for the sake of leaving. Rather move toward something else. Keep a forward moving mentality – always moving forward instead of always leaving something.

The winning habit is a persistence in the following four ways.

• Winners persist through time – Tough times never last. Tough people do! (Robert Schuller)
• Winners persist through failure – Failure teaches you what does not work
• Winners persist through criticism – Do not turn a deaf ear to criticism. Discover truths in valid criticism
• Winners persist through rejection – Rejection stimulates reflection and that will always make you better
