Persistence is probably the single most common quality of successful people. Successful people simply refuse to give up. The longer a person hangs in there, the greater their chances of success. No matter how hard it seems, it could always be harder, and the longer you persist the more likely your success.
Throughout life we are often faced with obstacles. These obstacles cannot be predicted and no amount of planning can prevent them from happening. We are all faced with hard times, no matter how successful we are, or are not. On your journey to success the universe will test your resolve of the goals you are fighting for. Refuse to give up!
"The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough."
Randy Pausch
You can never give up on your hopes and dreams. It is my promise to you that if you hang in there long enough, eventually you will reach your goals.
When you come up against those inevitable brick walls, take a step back and formulate a way to get around them. You can handle any adversity as long as you stay solution oriented in your thinking. Continue to persevere until you find a way around them, over them, or straight through them.
If you find yourself up against a wall that seems like it will crush all chances of your goal from happening consider this: True success does not happen over night, it happens step by step, push by push, swing by swing. Each past movement critical to the next!
If I was to hand you a brick of stone, what would you have, simply a brick of stone right? But if I handed that same brick of stone to a sculptor with the art of their skills they could turn that stone into a masterpiece.
When looking at these brick walls you will come up against in life, look at them from a sculptors perspective. What can you create out of these hard times and how can you mold them into what you desire? Keep this mindset and continue to persist, and there will be no obstacle in your way that you cannot defeat!
"Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do."
Napoleon Hill
