Persistence Always Wins

Any great accomplishment that has ever been achieved has been

brought about and made possible by an all important trait called

persistence.

Have you ever thought about how many things "might have been" in

our world, that don't currently exist simply because the person

or persons that initially had an inspired idea, failed to act on

it or gave up before seeing it through and making it a reality?

How many times have you had an idea that, at the time it was

conceived, seemed somehow almost magically inspired by something

outside of yourself and you knew somehow, somewhere down deep

within, that it was the right thing to do and the best possible

path for you to take at the time?

How many times have you truly believed that there was no

possible way that it could fail to produce the results you first

anticipated and visualized, only to find that after a short

time, and after much outside opinion, human analysis, and

"logical thinking", you allowed doubt to creep in, and that

initial feeling of certainty and assurance melted away, only to

later rationalize that it "Must not have been meant to be"

because you encountered some opinion or obstacle that seemed to

hard to overcome?

How many times have you given up on an idea or project that you

were certain about, and initially knew couldn't fail, simply

because people within your circle of influence convinced you

that it just wasn't feasible, and that those dreams and ideals

you held fell outside of the boundaries of what's logical?

How many times have you allowed the nay sayers to contaminate

and effect that initial "knowing" and turn it in to doubt, which

resulted in you giving up and never completing what you knew at

one point was most definitely the right thing to do?

If you're like most, it's happened innumerable times.

So many great, inspired, and original ideas which would

inevitably lead to incredible advancements in human evolution

are lost daily, discarded and left floating out in a vast

universal collectiveness of unfulfilled and wasted hopes,

dreams, and ideals.

So many incredible possibilities derived through individual

thought, abandoned due to self limiting and humanistic

reasoning, or over-analysis, which drowned out what may have

been known as the worlds next great discovery.

Think for a moment about some the greatest discoveries in human

history. Many, I'm sure fail to think about and actually take

for granted where so many of these incredible discoveries were

derived from and the unshakable persistence that the inventors

who made them possible must have possessed.

I can only imagine the conversations that must have taken place

between Thomas Edison and those within his circle of influence

prior to the discovery of electricity. It's almost humorous to

think about some of the snide and snickering comments that must

have been aimed at the Wright Brothers before they achieved

flight. I can only imagine the gossip that must have circulated

concerning Alexander Graham Bell. I wonder how many, in the

times of Christopher Columbus were absolutely convinced that he

would never return, certain that he would meet his doom by

sailing over the edge of a flat world?

Each of these great accomplishments, completed by mere men,

began as an inspired thought or idea, combined with a deep inner

knowing, and were only made possible due to a sincere desire,

combined with an undying and relentless persistence.

These few examples are just a small portion of many that could

be referred to. Look around at your environment and think about

all the awesome discoveries that exist within it. Try to fathom

what the inventors of so many incredible accomplishments must

have endured prior to realizing the actualization of each

originally inspired thought, each of which changed the course of

history in a huge way.

I can assure you, each and every one of them had the all

important quality of unshakable persistence. You can bet they

didn't allow pessimism, laughter, snide comments of onlookers,

ill given advice from well meaning friends and relatives, or

outside negative influence of any sort to interfere, long term,

with what they knew down deep was possible, and eventually,

through persistence, turned in to reality.

You can be assured they didn't allow negative self talk and

over-analysis to deter them from what they recognized initially

as possibility.

How about you? What dreams or ideas do you have or have you had

in the past that were thwarted due to this type of outside

influence?

What dreams or ideas do you currently hold? Do you have a dream

of a currently non- existent product or service? Do you desire

to become wealthy? Do you have a vision of making a positive

world wide impact in the lives of hundreds of thousands of

people? Maybe at this point your sights are not set quite that

high, but instead you just want to provide your family with a

better life, or change your career to one that is more pleasing

to you.

Regardless of what your dream may be, and no matter how big or

small it is, if you had the ability to think it, you can most

certainly and surely have the ability to accomplish it, if

you'll choose to persist.

You have within you the ability to bring even the most seemingly

far fetched ideas and notions into physical existence if you

will choose to persist, and combine that persistence with a few

other essential ingredients.

What are these other Ingredients?

Recipe For Success...

* Develop a firm resolve to persist with your original

inspired ideas, regardless of the circumstances.

* Consistently go within and absorb the wisdom and

knowledge that is available and necessary to see them through

and bring them into fruition.

* Develop a plan to put that newly attained knowledge

into methodical and focused daily action.

* Learn to become totally conscious of your moment by

moment thoughts and only contemplate on and allow only those

that would serve to advance your vision.

* Associate with like minded people, and absorb yourself

in information that possess and promote the same attitude of

possibility, and stay away from those that would attempt to

squash your dreams. Daily feed your mind with material of hope

and possibility and refuse to absorb the negativity of the daily

news, and other pessimistic views of the outside world.

* Persist in thinking about, visualizing, and

contemplating the end result in your minds eye and continually

focus your attention on what is going right instead of what may

appear to be going wrong. Develop the attitude that all things,

no matter how they may appear based on your current human

understanding are happening for a "greater good" and are

happening only to assist you in your continued growth.

* Learn to recognize the mistakes that you may make along

the way as building blocks that bring you one step closer to

your desired outcome.

* Keep moving forward, seeing each small step as major

progress and one step closer to your inevitable outcome of

success. Express gratitude for those small successes.

* Resolve to keep on keeping on regardless of external

appearances and perceptions, and you will eventually enable

yourself to taste the sweet fruit that is derived from your

efforts.

There are so many that quit just prior to reaching and realizing

their desired outcomes. Too many fail to persist in following

through with an initial inspired thought which would have a

major impact in transforming their lives and the lives of

others. Don't allow yourself to be one of them. Persist and you

will succeed.

An appropriate quote from an unknown author is...

"Remember when you see a man at the top of a mountain, he

didn't fall there."

Discover your passions. Explore and acknowledge your deepest

desires. Identify your mountain, start climbing, and persist

until you reach the pinnacle. The Rewards are Immeasurable and

the View is Incredible.

Winners Persist. Persistence Always Wins. Be a Winner.
