Persistence is one of the cornerstones of success.<\/p>\n

Your ability to concentrate on a task to its completion even in the face of adversity is a power skill that if developed will make your search for success,\u00a0absolutely undeniable.<\/p>\n

I look obstacles as Gods way of really testing your resolve to get what you want. And when you press for it without stopping, God opens the door and lets you in. But not without showing your ability to persist in the face of difficulty.<\/p>\n

On top of that everything that you get through the power of persistence is valued more than something that comes without a price.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why this is, it is something that I have just observed over the years.<\/p>\n

When you put sweat and hard work behind something, there seems to be more perceived value.<\/p>\n

It is certainly sad to see someone give up a project in the face of an obstacle. What is even more amazing is when someone comes behind this person and picks up the project, it is a slight adjustment that makes the project bear its fruit.<\/p>\n

I don’t know where you are at but don’t give up or fall short. Just give it one more shot. One more try. Enlist some help to get you over this bump.<\/p>\n

But stay the course.<\/p>\n

Here’s to your LifetoSuccess,<\/p>\n

John Clark<\/p>\n
