Persistence Brings Rewards

Persistence is necessary for all great achievement. In order to experience your eventual success you must hang in there until you are rewarded for the fruits of your labor.

As Ross Perot once said, "Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touch down."

Don't let that happen to you. You must finish the race. Commit to outlasting the challenges and difficulties that you face in the pursuit of your goal.

The best way to maintain persistence is by remembering what you want. Keep your eye on the prize! Visualize your goal on a consistent basis. Whenever you are faced with seemingly insurmountable odds switch your focus off of the challenges and onto the reward.

Your visualization of the desired outcome will inspire you to keep on moving forward even when you think you cannot. It is a strong desire for the completion of a worthy goal or ideal that will drive you to complete what you started. Let your dream compel you to persist and you will eventually accomplish what you set out to do. Do not take your attention off of what you want or you will be doomed to failure. The main reason people fail is a lack of persistence.
