“Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.” –Denis Waitley
Nothing worth doing or having comes to us without our taking some degree of initiative or making some type of intentional act of receiving.
As a child, I was blessed with agility, speed, and athletic ability. I was fast, and I liked winning! I liked the idea of running across a finish line first. I learned from track and field events that there are two kinds of effort involved in winning. Some effort is displayed as immediate bursts of energy, very often in a crisis or crunch moment. Other effort involves sustained discipline, practice, and energy output over time. Most of us have experienced both kinds of effort.
A key principle connects these two types of effort: the more a person is engaged in a sustained effort, the more a person is capable of manifesting a successful and sudden burst of effort when it is needed.
Persistence is the bridge over failure that leads to success, because you never fail until you stop trying.-Leadershipology
