Perseverance

“I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to
persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”
—Christopher Reeve

Another inspirational quote comes from Thomas Edison and his efforts in
inventing the light bulb: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000
ways that won’t work.” Imagine if he had given up after the first 100
attempts? Or even 1,000? Thankfully, perseverance won out and he
succeeded in achieving his goal.

DECIDING to change is the first step in a healing journey. The second
step is BELIEVING that you can change. The third step is putting a very
strong WHY behind your decision to change. The forth is ACTION — taking
the necessary steps to move you closer to your goals. Now, here is the
fifth important step — PERSEVERE.

Don’t give up. Keep your goals in sight and keep going until you get
there. For every setback, just realize that you’ve discovered one more
way how you won’t get to your goal — and then move on to find your
success.
