Don’t quit, Persist!

The trajectory to success is never an easy climb. Most people think it’s a slow and steady ascent to the top. In reality: it has peaks, troughs, plunges- and cliffhangers. You can’t give up on your hopes and dreams just because (unforeseen) obstacles pop up.

Things happen. Plans go awry, projects fall through and often you have several jolting “rock bottoms” that leave you wondering if you should have ever started at all. Sometimes we have to hit a moment of most resistance to finally find a breakthrough.

Remember “no” is not the end. “No” is a word on your path to “yes”. In these trying moments keep focus and hang in there. It’s always too soon to quit. Fall down seven times, get up eight times. Failure is nothing more than information. When something doesn’t work, we aren’t being told to quit, but to try a different way. Just as a GPS will hit a roadblock and say “I am recalculating your route!”

The precise moment that you feel too overwhelmed by the odds of actually making it is precisely when success is just around the corner.  Hang in there and see the results unfold. It will all be worth it.

As they say, never  let a stumble in the road be the end of the journey!
