Positive Thought For The Day

Persistence not Failure
By Catherine Pulsifer

Everyone meets failure in their journey through life. To overcome failure, you need to concentrate and focus your energy on your goal. If you don't succeed the first time, try another way. We are easily distracted or side-tracked by working on areas that bear no relation to our goal. Keep your goal focused in your mind at all times.

Put your energy and effort into completing tasks that move you closer to your goal. Even if you set aside only 30 minutes a day, you are being persistent and consistently moving closer and closer to your goal.

Ask yourself if you have been defeated by your own lack of persistence without realizing it. Step back and take a hard look at how persistent you have really been.
