Perseverance is the day-to-day decision not to give up.
We may not be able to change the circumstances that fall upon us or the cards that are dealt to us, but we can control how we respond to those circumstances. When we feel lost, overwhelmed, betrayed or exhausted – sometimes it all boils down to a single decision that we all must make — Will we quit today? Or persevere to tomorrow?
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” –30th President of the US (1872-1933), Calvin Coolidge
So you know that goal you’ve always wanted to accomplish but keep brushing aside? That one thing you’ve dreamed of but never dared pursue? You need to sit down and ask yourself – How bad do I want it? Then just do it.
