Persistence

What do you first do when you learn to walk? You fall down, do you not? Then you get back up and fall again. And when you have fallen over and over and made all the mistakes you think that you possibly can, what do you find? That you can walk. Well, whatever you want to do in life is the same thing as learning to walk! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!

As you reflect upon your life, how many times have you fallen down? Did you pick yourself up each time and say that you'll try again? Regardless whether it's the 5th attempt, the 19th try, the 33rd rejection you've received, do you keep on going?

I certainly need reminders to persist and this list of quotes will serve as wake-up calls during those days when I'm faltering along my journey.

Enjoy these persistence quotes and may they rekindle your spark to go after your heart's desires!

Hang on tight to your goals, dreams and let's keep on going!

We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are.
-Tobias Wolff, 'In Pharaoh's Army'

That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the task itself has become easier, but that our ability to perform it has improved.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist.
-Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men 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.
-Calvin Coolidge (1872 - 1933)

Energy and persistence conquer all things.
-Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)

When you find something that you truely want to accomplish in your life, make it into your cheif definite aim, set an action plan, back it with hard work and persistence and don't stop until you achieve the results your after.

If it wasn't for persistence, Thomas Edison would have never attempted 10,000+ experiments to figure out how to make the incandescent light bulb into a reality.

You can acheive anything that you want in life. You only need to believe that you can and persistantly take action toward the attainment of your goals.

Be persisant, believe and take action!

You're the Best!
