Persistence

“Persistence is the bridge over failure that leads to success, because you never fail until you stop trying”. – Leadershipology.com

Persistence is a key quality all successful people possess. As hard as it is, almost anyone can get started. But to persevere through thick and thin, to continually pick yourself up again over and over, and face failure and disappointment, requires the best that is in you.

“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell and got back up again.” – Nelson Mandela

Persistence is the bridge over failure that leads to success, because you never fail until you stop trying. The more you persist, the stronger you become. And the stronger you become, the more you are able to persist.

“Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.” – Napoleon Hill

You demonstrate persistence when you keep doing what you know to do, even when doing what you know to do, doesn’t seem to be getting any results. You “keep on keeping on,” knowing that the greatest outcome of doing what you know to do comes from what you become in the process, not what you get from Doing the Process.

“Never, Never, Never give up.” – Winston Churchill

There is only one person who can keep you from reaching your full potential … and that is yourself. If you commit to never give up, persistence becomes an automatic response to any problem or challenge. The ability to persist, to keep going until you complete the things that are most important to you, is the key to winning, happiness, and success in life!
