So here we are and another weeks has gone by. crazy isn’t it no matter how we try we cannot stop the hands of time. and so we go on from one day to the next. from one lesson to the next. We don’t always have a great day some days are better than others. yet we know if we persist if we continue to put one foot in front of the other eventually we will succeed. eventually we will meet our goal. Persistence is the key, and , it is Persistence that I wish to speak of today. I will start off by giving you a Quote from a book that truly changed my life
it is a portion from “The Greatest Salesman in the World” written by OG MANDINO
I WILL PERSIST UNTIL I SUCCEED. The prizes of Life are at the end of each journey
not near the beginning; and it is not given to me know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step yet my success hide behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner. Always I will take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth one step at a time is not too difficult.
I WILL PERSIST UNTIL I SUCCEED .Henceforth I will consider each day’s effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood nor the second , nor the third. Each blow of itself may be trifling, and seem of no consequence Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble So it will be with my efforts of today.
I will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger; the star that brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempt repeated make will complete any undertaking
I WILL PERSIST UNTIL I SUCCEED. I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot unable, impossible, out of the questio, improbable, failure, unworkable hopeless and retreat; for they are words of fool i will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head. for I know that where dry desert ends green grass grows. I WILL PERSIST UNTIL I SUCCEED
I can’t say it much better than that. I’m reminded of a lesson I learned while in High School. I ran Cross Country in the fall and the our coach would always say.
” You have to dig deep reach past the pain to find the energy to continue to the
end. If you give up today It will be a little easier to give up tomorrow, and, then next day .and so on but the opposite is also true too If you DON’T
GIVE UP TODAY. It is easier to STAY STRONG tomorrow and the day after
that...and so on and so on.” when things get tough in my life I always remember that
