Just the mere mention of the word “Persistence” can give doubt to some about the effort that will, and must, be made in order to succeed in life, no matter what your particular goal is. Having to remain consistent with our efforts, even though results may not be seen in our early stages of commitment, is an important factor and ingredient for success. This is only one of many keys needed for success but one of the most important.

The ability to maintain persistent with your efforts in achieving your goal is crucial. We cannot assume that applying ourselves with minimal efforts will allow us to see the fruits of our labor. Even though we will be encountered with resistance from all angles, being persistent will, without doubt, overcome all. If you know and have read the story of Thomas Edison, you will realize that even though he failed 10,000 times, he was still able to reach his goal of creating the light bulb. Failure is not a step back in progress, but a step closer to reaching that goal you have and seeing the positive results of your efforts.

One of my favorite quotes is, “Persistence will open all doors closed by resistance”, strongly enforced by John Di Lemme, motivational trainer and speaker. Creating and maintaining a positive mindset has been one of the major attributes that has contributed to the success of many entrepreneurs. Moving forward physically and mentally is the only way to get from point A to point B. Unfortunately we tend to get in our own way of success and loose the motivation, focus and persistence we need to maintain.

Even though life’s circumstances can become overwhelming, we must remain focused and persistent with reaching our goals. With that said, we must move forward mentally and not be held back by negative thoughts and experiences of our past. There’s a saying, “We are all kneaded the same way but we are not baked in the same oven.” Everyone has negative situations in life that cannot be avoided, even though some choose to handle the situation, others choose to allow them to lose the focus and motivation and allow it to control their lives. I personally refuse to let any circumstance in my life keep me from achieving what we were put here to achieve, and neither should you.

Persistence has given me the success and achievements I’ve received in life. Even though there were very difficult times and time management was a major issue, I was still able to MOVE FORWARD and get closer to my goal. All the credit cannot be attained by just me, my team members and leaders of which I choose to associate with are major contributors to my success in life. We cannot take on the full load of the task needed to reach your full outcome in life. The efforts of many will help to continue to move your forward. I am very grateful for the leadership and commitment my leaders and the team I personally am guiding to success for continuing their dedication, focus, positive attitude, and persistence throughout any and all circumstances and curve balls life throws at us.

If you’d like to learn more how to keep persistent and have a team of leaders guide you to your goal, all you have to do is ask. For life is merely an employer and you will only receive exactly what you ask for, and nothing more.
