“Successful
people get in line and stay in line.” Brian
Tracy
I used to go from one thing to the next,
never truly committing to anything. I had the mindset that if it didn't work
out it didn’t matter because I would always have a back up plan. Why do we
question ourselves? Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves? How can we
stay true and trust in ourselves when the going gets tough? Humans have a need
for certainty and this can lead us oh so cleverly back to our comfort zone.
per·se·ver·ance
noun
1.
steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially
in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
You cannot have a back up plan or an easy
out if you want to succeed. Joe Pane said something powerful that truly spoke
to my soul and had a profound effect on me, he said "you're either all in
or you're all out, you will never achieve what you want if you just dip your
toe in to the water" When something means everything to you don’t say “if
I make it” instead say “it's only a matter of time before I achieve it”
"It
is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness
of pursuit.” Denis Waitley
Celebrate the small wins along the way and
take note of the reference points of success. Talent will only get you so far;
perseverance, hard word and being relentless in pursuit of your WHY, your
Purpose and your vision will get you through.
"Life
is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and
above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for
something and that this thing must be attained.” Marie Curie
Be relentless in pursuit of what matters to
you, it takes hard work to be great.
Rise Up. Out of the everyday and into life.
I would love you to join me on this journey below.
