Most people usually give up at the first sign of defeat or setback in what they're trying to achieve in life. It's a normal thing for them to do. Just give up. And then turn round to complain that things never went the way they expected.
What they don't seem to realise about such attitude is contained in the words of legendary author Napoleon Hill, "Every adversity, every failure and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or even greater benefit".
There is no one on this earth who made genuine wealth or achieved fame or success in any endeavor that did not encounter difficulties along the way.
The problem with most people again, is that when they see someone who has made it genuinely, it probably never occurs to them the fact that there is a story of persistence behind the person's success.
Leadership expert and author John Maxwell stated, "the difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure". John also stated "its not what happens to you that matters but what happens inside you."
The truth about these statements is that to achieve true, lasting and genuine wealth, fame and success, one has to change from the way of thinking that leads to failure to one that leads to success. Learning to develop persistence and applying its power is the key to changing all that!
One thing we humans need to understand is this: there will always be issues and challenges and obstacles to surmount on the road to success and even beyond. No one who has travelled that road successfully would tell you otherwise.
What is important to note however, is the fact that understanding that such challenges will occur and then still going ahead to do what we need to do to get to our life's ambition is a sure sign that we have understood and begun to develop the power of persistence.
Persistence will get you through any situation in life because it is a part of the process of getting to where you want to be. Unfortunately, a lack of understanding of this fact makes very many people give up at the sign of obstacles.
So how does one develop the power of persistence? You have a will-power given to you by God Almighty. You have an ambition of what you want in life. You have a mind you can use to create a clear mental picture using your imagination of what you intend to achieve. You have a mouth to declare into your life every single day what you want to become.
Make use of these things with absolute faith and the journey to wealth, fame and success is nearing completion for you.
Once you've understood the importance of the words in the preceding paragraph and begun applying it, nothing becomes impossible for you. Sacred scripture tells us that we were all created in God's image and likeness (Gen. 1: 26-27) . Sacred scripture also tells us that "for God all things are possible (Matt. 19: 26)."
Now I will ask you two questions, if you believe you were created in God's image and likeness, does it not mean that there are certain characteristics you share with God? One of those is the power to create using words. If that is the case, then why should temporary setbacks and obstacles debar you from achieving?
Dear friend, you have a power given to you by God in His love and infinite mercy. Use it well and it transforms into the power of persistence to achieve whatever you want in life. Now you have another wealth secret!
