Power of persistence

Give your actions power by repeating them. Great achievement comes from great persistence.

When you find it difficult to persist, keep this in mind. What matters most is not what’s already happened, but what you do next.

Purpose drives persistence, so focus on the reason why you’re doing what you do. Fill your mind with the current possibilities and there will be no space remaining to dwell on past disappointments.

It’s not really complicated and not particularly difficult. When you’ve made the effort once, you know you have what it takes to put forth that effort again and again.

Persistence happens because you choose to look forward rather than backward. You deserve to get where you wish to go, so persist in being the person who makes that happen.

No matter what has just occurred, recognize it as an opportunity to keep going. Embrace that opportunity again and again, and put the power of persistence on your side.
