The reason why most people fail to reach their dreams and desires is that they lack the ability to persevere.

Life tends to get in the way of what you really want to achieve. The stresses of everyday life, and the battle just to keep your head above water, consumes your precious time and you neglect the things you want to do, because you are too busy doing the things you have to do. You give up on the things that are really important to you, that excite you and make you happy. You loose interest and give up on your dreams. You start to doubt yourself and your abilities.

You are all worked up and very enthusiastic about attaining your goal. You start with a big bang believing that you will succeed. Sadly many people are eager to start, but unfortunately start to lose interest as soon as they hit the first obstacles on their road to success.

How many times have you started something that you never finished? Your fears take over and soon you give up, and failure creeps in, or you just lose interest in what you were doing, because you never had a strong enough desire to succeed.

“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a persons determination to succeed.”

-Tommy Lasorda-

Persistence is the force that will move you past these obstacles and all your other fears and failures. Persistence is that quality which you have to develop to help you to stand firm by your decision to work toward your dreams. It will help you to persevere regardless and despite of all opposition.

Success is the result of consistent daily action towards your goals. Persistence welcomes problems, challenges and even failure, because these are your opportunities to learn and grow as a person. Remember that in the end it is not what you get from achieving your goals, but what you become as a person.

Will you be able to persist despite of obstacles and resistance from other people?
