Here is something really cool to grasp...you can do almost anything simply through perserverance. Now that is pretty cool, but the cooler thing is that anyone can CHOOSE to perservere. If you could simply block out the world of distractions, detracters, and doubts, and just perservere, you would surprise yourself.
Most people who achieve great things in life are not more talented than the rest of the world in general, they simply worked hard and never gave up on what they were trying to achieve. Of course, we all hear about the massive success stories; the movie stars, like Tom Hanks for example who were told over and over again that they couldn't act and had no future...or big industry successes like Walt Disney, who was rejected by 301 banks for his crazy Disney World idea.
What you don't really hear about are all the people around you who have succeeded in whatever their endeavor is by simply working hard and not quitting. You don't hear the stories of all the CEOs in your city who came from nothing, or the people who own the thriving restaurants and other retail and service establishments in your town...behind each one is a story of perserverance.
This can be your story too...it is only a matter of deciding to perservere through whatever obstacles will be in front of you.
Thomas Buckner said "To bring one's self to a frame of mind and to the proper energy to accomplish things that require plain hard work continuously is the one big battle that everyone has. When this battle is won for all time, then everything is easy."
Once you have committed to persrvere, success is inevitable.
