The Power of Persistence

A little boy has just been given a new bike by his
parents. That boy has never been on one before. But he really wanted to ride
one. So naturally he practices. The boy falls numerous times. He even scraped
his knees on the pavement. The mother seeing her child like that wanted him to
stop. But the little boy refused to do so. He practiced all the way to the
afternoon and by the end of the day, he was dirty and scraped in several
places. But the boy did learn how to ride and that was more than enough reward
for his persistence.

The power of persistence can definitely take you a long
way. Never giving up despite being in the face of so many difficulties is a
remarkable trait in a person. Most people lose heart after two or perhaps three
failures. Some even give it up even after just failing once. But what everyone
must remember is that failure is part of life. Success would not taste as sweet
if a person cannot experience failure. So instead of giving up, provide
yourself with power within and tough it out. Be persistent in reaching your
goals.

As for the goals you set, make sure they are not something
that could hurt anybody. Persistence in your part can be bad if you get to step
on others. But if it is a goal worth fighting for not only for your sake then
face all the challenges head on. The power of persistence can provide you with
greater riches and that is wealth within. Life is not all about sailing
smoothly; instead it is all about rough waters and storms. But it is not all
that bad. Well, it would be if you give up easily! But if you persevere, there
is always a reward for you. Things may not work out exactly the way you want
but it will work out.

Inner strength is needed for a person to become
persistence. This strength is all about having confidence in yourself and in
your abilities no matter what other people say. However you must also learn to
recognize your limitations and mistakes and accept all of them. This way you
can find some way to work around it and conquer all your limitations. There are
many paths to happiness but not one of them is giving up. Yes there are times
that you may have to stop what you are doing to achieve your goals but this
does not mean you cannot reach your goals.

Truly the power of persistence is great. Far are the
distances you could reach and high are the goals you can achieve. Stay strong
always, be brave, and do not lose heart in the face of failures and seemingly
impossible challenges. Life is not only about reaching a destination but also
about having fun along the journey. Challenges and failures are actually there
to make you stronger. So go on with life and persist!
