What Can Keep Us Going

What Can Keep Us Going

Not to sound dramatic but let's paint horrifying scenarios like we're steering our ship through a wild, stormy sea.  Then the waves rear up like angry giants, crashing against your vessel.  Then, it feels like the world is throwing its worst at you, right?  Daring you to turn back.  BUT you stand firm at the helm, eyes fixed on the distant horizon.  So What Can Keep Us Going?  Oh yes, all our lives go through rollercoaster rides through storms and in that storm, your anchor comes down to one gritty word:  PERSEVERANCE, that determination that sets apart successful people apart from the rest of the pack.  Indeed, the FIRE KEEPS BURNING even after a series of setbacks.  It's that unwavering belief in your vision, the refusal to give up even when the odds seem insurmountable📗📙📘

Well, well, well, PERSEVERANCE comes in a 'package deal' with purpose and a calling.  It keeps you going but the calling comes with a price if you decide to stick it out.  You may have 18-hour days for awhile BUT unless you have a lot of PASSION for your work OR your calling, you may NOT see your vision to come into fruition.  What drives PERSEVERANCE💴💷💵

Undoubtedly, it all boils down to PASSION.  Otherwise, your PERSEVERANCE is often misguided by the wrong intentions.  PASSION is the engine that puts PERSEVERANCE into overdrive mode to think up BIG ideas, solve BIG problems, and make the world a better place.  NO passion, NO perseverance, it's as simple as that💎💎💎

We can try it ourselves BUT without PASSION and PERSEVERANCE, we CAN'T claim to have that tenacity that will cause us to fizzle out because our heart's NOT in it.  So, what will KEEP US GOING and KEEP THE FIRE BURNING?  First off, CLEARLY know your dream.  What's your END GAME?  Picture it vividly.  It could be having a thriving business OR leaving a mark in your calling✅✅✅

Follow that up by NEVER FORGETTING your flops.  Think of those setbacks that brought you and your knees down to the ground.  Each 'NO' in the signpost is pointing you in a different direction BUT that's NOT a dead-end.  It's a DETOUR instead.  And if needed, CHANGE TACTICS.  If one approach isn't working, try a different route.  Then in your 'SMALL WINS', TOAST for it.  The rat race we are in ISN'T  a sprint but a marathon.  Celebrate those little victories along the way to KEEP YOU GOING, to KEEP YOU MOTIVATED❗❗❗
