Today's Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation is about the indomitable power of persistence in surmounting our challenges and reaching our goals. More than almost anything else, persistence is king when it comes to useful traits to develop on our path of success.
"Persistence is a characteristic to which success invariably surrenders."
- Catherine Ponder
Truly I don't think that I can emphasize enough just how huge persistence is when it comes to succeeding at our goals! Not giving up, especially when in the midst of great challenges, is a hallmark of all successful people. Keeping the focus and continuing forward, even when things are not working, and finding a way, no matter what, is success in action.
If we want something deeply enough, if something is important enough to us, we will persist through pretty much anything, and in so doing we move ourselves immensely closer to our goal.
It is said that at least half of success is simple persistence. I'd say that this is quite accurate indeed, as those who give in and give up are guaranteed not to succeed. Those who persist, no matter what, however, are knocking on success' door. Eventually someone is going to answer, and the door will open. Don't ever give up on what is important to you, and success will at some point, invariably, be yours!
Remember, dear friends, that we are all in this together, that we rise by lifting others, and that together we thrive, so onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
