Chapter 9 - Persistence

We all know that PERSISTENCE pays off.  That you always win if you never quit.  We have all heard the overly true cliche, Quitters never win, Winners NEVER quit.  Shows up all over the place especially in this industry.

PERSISTENCE - the single most common trait in all who have achieved great success. PERSISTENCE, PERSISTENCE, PERSISTENCE.  Ghengis Khan, Alexander the Great, Napoleon Hill, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Abraham Lincoln.  I am sure this list could go on and on and on.  Of people who PERSISTED until they achieved what they desired.

For Myself, I have to find out ways to PERSISTENTLY conquer procrastination and indifference, my two greatest enemies.  In the list of things that kill PERSISTENCE that is.

We should be PERSISTING in our ultimate desires, our greatest dreams for achievement - NOT NECESSARILY in our plans for achieving our desires.  We should have a plan, this is a MUST, we should have a plan for each of things we desire in life, whether it be more happiness, more success, more money, more time, more friends, more love, a new car, whatever.  If you don't have a plan, you have nothing to work with - Those that fail to plan, plan to fail and all that jazz.  In my mind having a plan in place makes it easier to get things done.  But, I think that our plans should be fluid, easily changed when they do not work and then frozen into place when they do.  If your plan for becoming a great success is not working, yet you persistently apply that plan, you will get no where, and your desire will die.  But, if you focus your PERSISTENCE on your results rather then your plans the desire will stay strong.  We must PERSIST in the achievement of our DESIRES or we shall never attain them.  Be willing to change the plan, but always keep the goal on your mind.
