Nothing in the World Takes the Place of Persistence

Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity ~Louis Pasteur

It seems so simple and yet it's the most overlooked ingredient in success. Persistence is the cornerstone of ANY successful endeavor.

Nothing in the world takes the place of persistence.

Thomas Edison tried 10,000 different things before he figured out how to successfully create a light bulb. 10,000! When people commented on his many failures he replied, "I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work". Edison understood that every unsuccessful attempt put him one step closer to reaching his goal.

Nothing in the world takes the place of persistence.

Abraham Lincoln lost his job, was defeated for state legislature, failed in business, had a nervous breakdown, was defeated for speaker of the house, defeated for nomination for Congress, rejected for land officer, defeated for US Senate twice, and defeated for nomination for Vice President, before being elected President.

Nothing in the world takes the place of persistence.

Oprah Winfrey was told she wasn't fit for television. Michael Jordan was cut from the varsity basketball team his sophomore year in high school. Bob Dylan was booed off the stage when he began to change his musical style. JK Rowling was turned down by nine different publishers before she found one to print her Harry Potter series.

Nothing in the world takes the place of persistence.

It's not too late! You can have the life you deserve.

Start today.

Take one small step each day to your dream and you WILL achieve it!
