Success is something that everyone aspires to. However, through the constant struggle and challenges that life throws at you, the path to success has become even more difficult to achieve. You may have heard inspiring success stories about the arduous journey through test after test. You may be wondering yourself how to succeed despite the odds. The answer seems simple but much more difficult to maintain: perseverance.
If you really want something, you will work hard to achieve it. As difficult and scary as it can be to face an uncertain path filled with the possibility of defeat, you must set your focus. It’s easy to get distracted by things that throw you off balance and keep you from realizing your dreams. But when you know you want something with all your might, you muster your willpower and heart, and propel yourself within arm’s reach of sweet success.
Perseverance is something that is not acquired. It’s something inside of you that you have to get out. Perseverance is not distributed. It is something to be discovered, perfected and used. No one has ever discovered success by giving up. A winner is not a quitter. When everything else seems to be against you, when the tide has risen, the only thing you can hold on to is the will to carry on. Not giving up, seeing through the good despite the countless bad and picking yourself up after every fall is the way to succeed despite the odds.
