Too often we are tempted to throw in the towel just when success is within reach. It seems all to easy to ditch our efforts if results aren’t immediately forthcoming and to our liking.
But just think for a moment of all the many people both past and present, who have overcome adversity and countless rejections, yet carried on regardless to achieve great success through sheer persistence.
‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’, by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hanson, was rejected over 140 times, yet today along with a whole string of their ‘Chicken Soup’ titles, it is firmly established as one of the best selling inspirational books.
Thomas Edison created the lightbulb after around 10,000 attempts..how’s that for persistence?
Never give up, don’t be afraid of failure, just think of each setback as bringing you one step closer to achieving your goals. Indeed, the more setbacks you experience and overcome, the greater your reward will be when you achieve success.
Remember this, if you can create success in your imagination, you can create success in reality. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to and fully focus your efforts on.
