Think and Grow Rich Chapter Nice - Persistence
Friday, February 18, 2011 at 04:45PM Everyone wants success in something in their life. Some people want it Now, but that's not a recipe for success. Persistence is though. Persistence is taking one step, then another, and then another. That Slight Edge. Persistence means never giving up. It's Keeping on, Keeping on, and Keeping on.
I bet anyone who has ever achieved anything worth pursuing has been dealt many a setbacks. How did they keep going? They kept their eye on their goal and didn't look the other way. They didn't see the setback as a reason to give it up. In fact, many times it kept them going.
When we breathe life into our ideas, put our plan together and take some action, we're on our way.
I don't want to be a person who quits at the first sign of defeat; I'd rather be like W.C. Fields and never give up ... to carry inside of me the feeling that if I stay persistent, I Will achieve my desire ... get my "self-made" break.
Definite plans + definite desires + constant persistence = My Dreams. Your dreams. Our dreams.
Our Master Mind group gives us a slight edge ... we have the friendly alliance Hill is talking about. We have a whole group of individuals who will encourage us to follow-through with our plans and remind us that we need to Be-All-In for this to take effect.
Since we know how important persistence is now, let's take it in and make it our #1 habit. Afterall, the Internet ... Facebook ... and anything else that didn't exist a few years ago ... only came about because somebody gave up limiting beliefs and didn't listen to what anyone else said about their idea. Instead, they breathed life into their idea and stayed Persistent. We can do the same with our desires.
May we all follow our dreams,
Cindy Manoske
