It is said that “Success is inevitable. The only variable is time”.

 

The definition of “persist” is: to continue steadfastly or firmly in some state, purpose, course of action, or the like, especially in spite of opposition, remonstrance, etc.

How would you rank yourself in the area of persistence?

My commitment to my dream of helping people through coaching has been challenged many times. Most recently, I attempted to hold a webinar, Living Life Full Spectrum, and was all set to go until the audio did not work. I had to abruptly end the workshop webinar and lick my wounds! It was embarrassing, sure. It was frustrating, of course. But my strongest emotion was to feel disappointment. I want so much to give my gift to the world!

Did I give up? It’s always tempting, isn’t it?

I said to myself and then others:

“No! No way! No way in hell will I give up on my dream!”

There’s no going back. If I hadn’t already decided for my dream and made a commitment to it, I probably could give up. But not now! I will persist until I can no longer take another step forward. That might be because I have transitioned out of my body or I’m incapacitated, whichever comes first.

Do you have a dream … a vision … that motivates you to persist, no matter what?

Like anything else, there is a trade-off. No commitment means no pressure.
