Favorite Inspirational Quotes

It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.

Albert Einstein

I guess this just goes to show the power of perseverance.  Other people gave up too early on trying to work with the problem(s) and Einstein is the one who becomes famous.  He puts it down to perseverance.

We all know he was smart and had a different way of looking at things as well.  However, it was that perseverance to stick with his work that paid off for him.

It’s that way for us as well.  Many times achieving a goal is simply a matter of sticking to taking the action that gets us there.  Don’t let problems stand in the way.  You just keep putting one foot in front of the other and pretty soon you’re headed out the door.  If you give up, you sure won’t achieve it, whatever it is.

Sometimes I think that persistence and determination are 80 - 90% of achieving any goal.  Each morning you have to rededicate yourself to the goal and taking the action to get there.  What kind of thing do you do to help you with this daily re-dedication?  For me, this journaling is a big part of it.

Perseverance = Persistence + Determination
