Perseverance:
noun:
steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.
I hope that this post finds many people with at least a small amount of perseverance seeing how the one word separates the successful from the unsuccessful, the winners from the losers, the victorious from the mundane. In any walk of life, relationship, business plan, religion, etc. there has to be a little perseverance in your life in order to really and truly make it. As I felt led to blog about this noun I found many quotes that are amazing by some very successful and influential people that I am going to share ..
"It always seems impossible until its done" -Nelson Mandela
"A wise man will make more opportunities than what he finds" -Francis Bacon (The Essays)
"I am a slow walker, but I never walk back" _ Abraham Lincoln
"Every strike brings me closer to the next home run" -Babe Ruth
"A bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn" -Helen Keller
"Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air" -John Quincy Adams
"A man of character finds a special attractiveness in difficulty, since it is only by coming to grips with difficulty that he can realize his potentials" -Charles de Gualle
I find all of those quotes inspirational and I kind of threw it back old school (lol) because those people molded our future, I mean they did some GREAT things. Achieving great things is not something that just comes, achieving greatness influentially for good, for God, for business, for love, for friendship, for ANYTHING requires this very attribute of remaining steadfast in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving the desired success!! Life can hold some extremely difficult heart aches, turns, shifts, roller coasters and solid mountains but through it all the only thing that can keep a human ticking is just that, KEEP TICKING, KEEP GOING.
I have not always found it so easy to remain positive, I come from a previous very negative mindset but it is BECAUSE OF the personal difficulty in my life and coming OUT on the other side of the difficulty STRONGER and BETTER than before that has built within a very positive and persevered mindset. GOD receives all of the credit for that in my life, now you may not handle your situations the same as myself, your credit may get merited to your strength and your personality or for whatever other reason but I simply say that the credit goes to my Heavenly Father because Ive tried it without HIM and I failed every single time. (lol)
In my life I use to remain mundane and I use to believe that is how life was meant to be lived, you know the basic life of working, eating, sleeping, hopefully falling in love, maybe getting married etc etc etc. and I am not implying that that life is mundane for ALL but for someone such as myself that seemed so boring as to my personality! If it had not been for some extended family sitting me down and talking to me about this very subject of perseverance, I would NEVER be where I am today. I would never be this happy.
Every human is different and every person has a different purpose.. nevertheless EVERY ONE HAS A PURPOSE. So, the reason for my blogging today just comes with wanting to give back a little and encourage everyone (if you're not already) to PERSEVERE and to tell you that you C>A>N!!!!!
Happy Wednesday everyone, XOXO.
