THE POWER OF SELF-DISCIPLINE

I have come to discover through life experiences that nothing is impossible or unachievable if only one could be disciplined enough.
~ Olusegun Samson G.

Success is not gotten on the platter of gold. It usually comes through high level of diligence and hard work. A man of success works while others are sleeping, read and research while others are clubbing. It goings without saying; ‘nothing good comes easy.’ This is why, self-discipline is a vital key that unlock success and the master key which open the door of possibilities.

Many a time people search eagerly for quick and cheap success only to wake up ten years after and discovered they have been after shadow. There are hundreds of principles of success but without discipline none of them will work. I have come to realize that everyone wants success, and even in most cases, knows what need done to achieve it. But what makes the difference is whether we do it or not. Doing what we need to do to succeed requires self- discipline. So the one quality which set apart men of great accomplishments and failures in life is not formal education,talent, money nor intelligence but self-discipline. To succeed, you don’t

just do what you feel like but what you need to do. Just as one of American foremost writer Elbert Hubbard said: “self- discipline is the ability to do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like or not.” If you are waiting till you feel like doing something before you get started, you might have to wait till eternity. Publishing on weekly bases this post you are reading now is not an easy task. There were several times I don’t feel like writing anything; in fact naturally I don’t like writing. But I had to discipline myself to write so as to fulfill my purpose to inspire hundreds of thousand across the globe to maximize their potentials. So, the rule is, do it anyway; feel like or not.

I don’t know what your dream(s) are or what it is, you hope to achieve; it time you start working towards accomplishing it; No more excuses! Find out all you need to do to accomplish your dreams in life and write them out. Then discipline your self to start doing them from now; you will be amaze how far you will go. If you are already working on it, discipline yourself to do more and move farther in it. Passion will get you started in your quest for success in life, but self-discipline is very essential to accomplish it.

Tremendous power lies in self- discipline. Make a commitment today to live a disciplined life and you will find yourself on the path of unlimited greatness.

Next week I would be sharing with you, some important guides to developing self-discipline. Still then, be well!

TODAY MATTERS II

TODAY MATTERS II

Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.
~ Buddha

Today is only one day in all the days we will ever see, but what we do today will determine what will happen in all the other days. So everyday offers you a chance to change your life.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

The peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition. You would never be able to see the opportunities today got to offer, if you haven’t made up your mind to make it count. Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
Let me show you 7 key things you need to do on daily bases to have a fulfilling life.

7 Things You Should Do Daily

1) See the Day as your Chance to Make Things Right,/b>: it doesn’t matter who you used to be, what matters is who you are today. Start living the way you feel it’s right to live, get more closer to God, put new effort towards achieving your dreams, stop a bad habit ; just do something that is good.
2) Never Leave for Tomorrow what could be Done Today: it may sound trite, but today is all you have. You can depend on tomorrow because it is not within your power.
3) Have a Plan of How You want to Spend your Day: the only way to be in control of your time is planning your day. Put on paper when you wake up what you want to achieve for the day, work on your plan and you will experience a highly fulfilling day.
4) Read for at Least an Hour Daily: you can never be better than your level of knowledge will allow. Someone said, “You are either studious or stupid in life.” You can not be known if you don’t know; knowledge is a principal thing.
5) Do Something that will Enhances your Dream(s) in Life: do you have a dream? You are a day closer to it today. Turn those dreams into reality by acting on them daily. Ask yourself daily, “what do I need to do today that will take me further in pursuit of my dream(s).
6) Put Smile on the Face of Someone: happiness is a seed. When you make others happy, you open for yourself also doors of happiness. To stay happy and smiling, sow the seed by making someone smile. Help a needy, or make a love one feel very important or cared for; do something t

g your eyes to see opportunities around you need to exploit for a major turn around in your life.

TODAY MATTERS

Success Digest
with Olusegun Samson G.

Week 35

TODAY MATTERS

“Today offers the keys to two doors; one to a shameful tomorrow and the other to a glorious tomorrow. To open the later you must make today counts.”
~Olusegun Samson

The reason why today seems not to be like what we wanted to see is because we have successfully pile up too many empty yesterday. Often time we say to ourselves; ‘Tomorrow, I would start that,’ ‘I would become serious with the project tomorrow,’ I’ll go to that place tomorrow’ and so on. Then we wonder why our life seems not to make appreciable progress. If your life must be meaningful, you need to make the most of each day you are privilege to see.

Almost all of us too often underestimate what today really could offer. I learnt to do otherwise in a hard way. Sometimes ago, I came across an amazing financial freedom secret of keeping to oneself no matter what a portion of one earnings or income (at least one-tenth) and then invest them when substantial enough to do so. I said to myself; ‘what I’m earning today is too small, I will start saving tomorrow when I earn more.’ As days, months and years pass by; it becomes more difficult for me to save even while I was earning more.

But something happen one day that causes a paradigm shift in my mind. An opportunity came for me to acquire a very good property at usually very low price. I couldn’t afford it; since I have a poor savings. Effort to raise the money else where was also abortive. So I lost that golden opportunity; opportunity is an inpatient goddess, you know! She leave’s quickly those who meet her unprepared.

Then it occurs to me that if I had been saving at least one-tenth of my income since that day I learnt about it; I would have been able to afford to buy four or more of that property conveniently. Today matters!
My eyes became open to opportunities that are lost today because of one inability to make the most of yesterday’s potential. Today is very important and you need to make it count for a better tomorrow to come.

When you see a man still struggling to make hands meet at his old age, be sure he must had pile up for himself too many empty yesterday. Today’s emptiness is tomorrow’s pain. Never leave for tomorrow what could be done today.
You need to get started with that project, it’s time you take that decision, go for that exam, get serious with that relationship, start doing those things you plan to do to be fulfilled in life. Remember, today is the tomorrow you spoke of yesterday.

One of the secrets to a successful life, is maximizing the God’s given potentials made available for you per time. Be productive today; see each day as your opportunity to make things right and build a tomorrow devoid of regrets.
Say to yourself over and over again, “Today matters” and make the most of it. The ticket to that glorious tomorrow you seek is today; don’t throw it away carelessly.

Next week I will be showing you step by step, what you need to do to maximize today

to birth the tomorrow you can ever dream of. I am sure you don’t want to miss it. Please don’t forget to share this post with your friends on various social media platforms.

SEED TIME

Success Digest
with Olusegun Samson G.

Week 15/16

SEED TIME

Every farmer is always happy during the harvest period. But what will sustain that happiness is their ability not to eat or sell their seeds with the other crops during this period. So many people achieve success at one point or the other in life, but very few remain successful. If you understand the mystery of the “seed time” you will find maintaining and achieving greater success easy. This is because the secret of success in anything lies in your understanding of seed time. You will not be term successful by the largeness of your harvest, but by the quantity and quality of the seeds you plant. If you want to be among the few who never know a better yesterday, you need to take this subject more serious.

There are key things you need to know, which I will be throwing more light into, such as; what is seed, what is seed time, how to identify the seed time, what are the important seeds you need to plant in life and how to plant your seeds.

What is a Seed?

Seed according to the dictionary is the initial state, condition or position of a changing, growing or developing process; the ultimate precursor in a defined chain of precursors. So everything started as a seed, including you and I. Whatever is capable of growing, d

eveloping and reproducing itself is a seed; including those ideas in your mind.
It is important to note that some seeds grow on their own, this calls for you to constantly check your life if it is producing the kind of fruits you want. If not please do some weeding.

What is Seed Time?

Seed time is refer to as the favourable period to plant seeds. To succeed you need to learn to turn every period into a favourable time to plant your seeds. Wise King Solomon said, “In the morning sow your seed, in the evening with hold not from sowing…” Achievers don’t wait for a favourable time; every time is seed time. Your future is not secure by the harvests you get in life, but by the seed you plant. So plant seed as many time as you have opportunities to.

How to Identify Your Seed Time

- Scarcity: You need to sow seed when what you have is not enough. Scarcity is an indicator for seed time. If you fail to plant in your days of scarcity, you will never be able to witness the days of abundance. It is folly to wait till you have more before you plant, because you might have to wait for ever. I think this could be the theory behind why the poor get poorer and the rich gets richer. See, if you eat everything in your days of scarcity you may remain poor and always looking up to others to survive in life. Seed time could require lot of sacrifices and could be painful, but you have to pass through it to enjoy the fulfillment of the harvest.
- Abundance: Every abundance you fail to manage, will sooner or later leads to scarcity. So abundance is another sign of seed time. No matter how large your harvest is, it will definitely finish one day. It can only be reproduce by planting of seeds. This is why Robert Louise Stevenson is right when he said, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.”

What are the Important Seeds You Need to Plant

Let me bring to your remembrance here that life is all about sowing and reaping. Today is a product of our yesterday and tomorrow is going to be a direct production of what we are doing today. This means that, today is a seed that will produce tomorrow. You can see that tomorrow of your dream if only you can be more careful with you actions, thoughts, and decisions today; these three will either make or mar your tomorrow. Beware!
There three important seeds will all need to plant to harvest a desirable tomorrow. The below shows us those seeds and where to plant them;

- TIME:you need to sow your time into the following i.Education and learning (you will always be stupid in life if you’re not studious)ii. Building of quality relationship (there is a relationship between who you know and what associates with you.) iii. Career/Business (building a successful business or career takes time; give it.) Your health (Health is wealth, they say.) iv. Your family (only God should be more important than your family, please sow some time into it.) v.Financial Education (financial intelligence is key to financial freedom. )vi.Developing relationship with God (it is difficult to win the battles of life without God.)

- MONEY :sow your money into the following i. Education and learning (Plant the seeds of money into education; you can only improving your earning power by improving your learning power). ii. Trainings (training always precedes reigning. You know!) iii.Books (the money you can’t spend on books should not be spent on clothing). iv.Assets ( I like real estate). v.Giving (Pay your tithes and give freely to the poor and less privilege if you want to be more successful.) vi. Family ( your spouse and children deserve a comfortable life ) vii. Your dreams (accomplishment of dream needs some financial commitments; please give it.)

- ENERGY: plant you energy in the following i. Working for God (the best way to preserve your energy is by giving it to God.) ii. Training your children (if you don’t train them well today, they will curse you tomorrow.) iii. Making positive impact in the live of other (life is about impact; we love to remember you for good.) iv. Achieving your desired success in life (you really need to sow some energy into that.) v. Exercises (even the holy book says it is profiting.)

How You Should Plant Your Seeds

Plant your seed generously and diligently. If you have two hour with your family, make it worth while, you don’t just sit down and watch them; you relate, learn something together, do some heart to heart talk e.t.c. This is important because you don’t plant seeds anyhow. Diligence is vital, do it right.

This is your seed time, why not plant some seeds of time, money and energy today into things that directly affect your future such as education, family, business, e.t.c. Success unlimited is what you get when you explore the power of seed time.
I pray that the dew of heaven fall on all the good seed you have sown in life.

HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR:- 7 Powerful Ways To Conquer Your Fears

Week 14

How To Overcome Fear:- 7 Powerful Ways To Conquer Your Fears

Until you conquer fear, you will never be able to gain mastery in life. Many of us are where we are today because out of fear we didn’t took some certain steps that would have move us further at some point in our life. Some of us, fear keep us focus on the past and worried about the future. Fear is certainly one of our most influential but highly ignored enemy of progress and accomplishment of goals. And the truth is no one is immune against fear, but what makes the different is our ability to overcome it when it comes.
As Nelson Mandela points out, the brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

I have my own fair share of fear and it has stop me on several occasion from; taking important steps, making vital call, making key decisions and so on, until I learn how to handle it.
When I caught the idea of the Annual National Success Summit, after consultations, researches and some calculations; my body temperature rises to about 60οC out of fear, going through my findings and what it takes to host the summit. I became more afraid when my team experiences some disappointment. To be sincere, my fears almost succeeded in stopping me; attempted canceling the summit more than three times. I had to fight my fears and eventually suppress them. The summit was successful and turns out to be one of my greatest accomplishments. What if my fear had stopped me again, all those life that has been impacted would not have been reached. What I have come to learn from my experiences with fear is that, you can’t be successful if you can’t conquer fear. Never, ever give in to fear. “He who is not conquering fear everyday” said R. W. Emerson “has not learned the secret of life.” Let’s quickly look at seven powerful ways to conquer fear.

7

Powerful Ways To Conquer Fear

1. Acknowledge: You need to acknowledge the fact that your fears are causing havoc. If you feel its normal you might never be able to get over it.

2. Investigate: Get specific, what are you really afraid of and why; look inward. Remember, you can not conquer an enemy you don’t know.

3. Dethrone Security: Many go into wrong marriage, put up with jobs they hate, live in places they are not comfortable with and so on, just to feel secure. If you must conquer fear, you need to place more value on courage to do what you have to do to succeed. Helen Keller rightly observed, “Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.”

4. Eliminate Negative Belief: That some fail at it, doesn’t mean you will. It can work for you even if it has never work for anyone before. Learn to program the right thought into your mind. Your negative thought is just a perspective; don’t let it fertilize your fear. Reading good books that that specifically addresses your needs is also a very wise decision.

5. Talk: Your greatest fear has once been conquered by someone; find such a one. For example, you want to go into business and you are afraid, successful businessmen where once in your ‘shoe.’ Talking about your fear with them will help a great deal. And most importantly talk to God about it in prayer; some abnormal cases of fear, requires divine intervention.

6. Think of the Worst Thing that could Happen: Each time I use this method, I will say to myself at least I’m not going to die, so I just do it. Instead of allowing fear to stop you go for the worst; you will survive it and your fear will disappear.

7. Expose Yourself to the Fear: You can never overcome fear by avoiding it. The more you expose yourself to fear, the more courageous you become. You need to confront your fear. Just as Jeanette Coron said, “Courage is not the absence of fear, it’s to feel the fear and face it anyway.” If something terrifies you, until you do it, you will never realize what you’re capable of.

Believe me you have a lot of potential within you and what it takes to rule your world but fears has been preventing you from unleashing them. That story is changing from today. Courage to face the future and accomplish greater things is release upon you now in Jesus name.

THE FIVE Ps OF SUCCESS V

Success Digest
with Olusegun Samson G.

Week 12/13

THE FIVE Ps OF SUCCESS V

I woke up this morning with a very strong burden in my heart to pray for Nigeria. You will agree with me considering all that is happening in the nation that there is need for divine intervention. It has never been this worst and we need to cry to God for help. I will encourage my friends from other countries to please join us in praying for this nation too. We are going to be praying together; please for just a moment, leave whatever you are doing and let us pray. Preferably you can get a partner and if you are a CEO, your staff could join you. We are going to pray with the whole of our heart three simple prayers:
1. We are helpless as a Nation, and men has failed us, God we turn to you today, help us we pray Thee.
2. Every enemy of Nigeria, receive the judgment of God today, irrespective of your age or status.
3. Lastly, we will pray a two in one pray; O God of creation, remove by your power every individuals with old or death brains in the affair of Government at all levels (local, state and federal). God, in your infinity mercy raise for us selfless leaders in Nigeria. (Amen)

It’s well with Nigeria and all that seek her good shall prosper. You can write out those prayer points; pray with your family and it could also be raise at our various place of worship. God bless you as you do so and God blessed Nigeria.
I want to encourage us to keep hope alive, Nigeria will survive and our dear nation will be great. Always think of what you can contribute to the nation, let each of us, Government, Capitalist and every citizen talk less (we talk too much this days) and take some action steps that will move Nigeria forward. Remember, in Nation Building, everybody is import and has a role to play, including a child. Start playing your role today; read my post on “Values That Transform Nations” to find out how.

This week, we will be looking at the last P of Success under this series. I’ve have received load of mails and words of appreciation from different part of the world on the Five Ps of Success for the first four Ps that had been shared. And it a great joy for that my blog is inspiring people from time to time to accomplish their dream(s) and be more successful, because that’s the purpose for which it was created. The Fifth P of Success is “People Skills.”

PEOPLE SKILLs- the Fifth P of Success

Developing people’s skill is vital to achieving success in anything. You will never be able to rise above what the level of your people’s skill will allow. John Maxwell, leadership expert and author rightly observed, “If you have not learned to get along with people, you will always be fighting a battle to succeed.” When you develop people skills, it will take you further by far than any other skills you develop. I’m yet to see any self made individual and just as Melinda Gate once stated, “If you are successful, it is because someone gave you a life or an idea that started you off in the right direction.” We will always need the help of people at one point or the other to move further in life. This is why you need to learn to build healthy relationship with people.

A certain organization was conducting an election for the appointment of a new president sometimes ago. Two of the management staff who were the main contestants for the position were having a tie after the vote had been counted. This created a need for one of the drivers to cast the ‘golden vote’ and at that point everyone believe one of the contestants, a woman very strict and principled will loose out. But to the amazement of all, the driver ca

stes the golden vote for her. What happen is this; unknown to them, she has been showing noting but kindness to the driver. Each time he drive her around, she will insist on stopping by at the driver house and give money and gifts to his wife and children, which always help the low salary earner to maintain his family and the driver had always look forward for an opportunity to repay her kindness. The woman never at any point imagine it that the driver (small rat) could ever help her (big lion) one day. There is no limit to how far developing people skills can take you.

Always remember, it will always be difficult to get a head in life, if you can’t get alone with people. You can’t do it alone, you need people and they will not just come to you, you will have to attract them. There are several people skills that one can develop, but I will only share with us five fundamental ones. Develop them and you will always enjoy the help of others.

5 Very Important People Skills You Must Develop To Succeed

1. Leadership Skill : leaders do not just show the way but go the way. You often hear a leader says “Let us go, do…” not “You go, do…” This qualities or personal involvement/comment to things will not only attract people to them, but also multiply them. Develop your leadership skill and you will be a people person. You can read my post on “How To Become An Exceptional Leader.” to learn more.

2. Strong Communication Skill : this is very important as it is the life of every relationship. Ensure you get in touch with people that matters to you at least once in a week. You don’t call people only when you need them, or you will be driving them a way from you. And please learn to say the truth at all cost. Relationship built on lie is like a house built on sand, it will not last. It is also important to note that, you can never be a good communicator if you don’t know how to listen. To be a good listen and get along with people, you need to hear; what people say and want you to hear (verbal communication), what they say and do not want you to hear (semi verbal) and what they didn’t say but want you to hear (non verbal).

3. Ability to Appreciate Others : you don’t just appreciate people when they do you a favour, but also when they did something impressive, achieve something or even looks good. Everyone wants to be appreciated; we all naturally move closer to those who appreciate us. Appreciate others and they will not only love you but will be willing to help you to a fault. Mary Kay wisely stated, “Everyone want to feel appreciated, so if you appreciate someone or something, don’t keep it a secret.”

4. Knowing How to Forgive : people will always hurt and offend you, because they are limited, not perfect and human. You need to learn to forgive at all time. No matter how hurt you might be feeling, trust me it pays to forgive. Like my people do say, “The one, who did what pain you today, might do that which will pay you tomorrow.” Give people not just second chance, but third, fourth or maybe tenth… forgiveness is important to get along with people.

5. Living by the Golden Rule : there are several people skills one need to develop, but if you can successfully live by the "golden rule", you are as good as developing almost all the other skills. The "golden rule" is simply doing unto others what you want them to do to you or in other words, treat others the way you love to be treated. Don’t give what you can not take. You love to be respected, respect others. You want people to be honest with you, be honest. You like to see people support you, genuinely support others. Be to others all you want them to be to you. If we could all live by the “golden rule” imagine how wonderful our world would be. When we practice the golden rule, we will value and support other, we will offer genius help and be honest in all our dealings. The best way to be a people person is live by the “golden rule.”

Do all you can to get along with people and away remember you will never be able to go far if you are alone.
It is your season of divine turn around, stay focus and be positive.

THE FIVE Ps OF SUCCESS IV

Success Digest
with Olusegun Samson G.

Week 11

THE FIVE Ps OF SUCCESS IV

*An uncle of R. U. Darby was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold-rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. He had never heard that more gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has ever been taken from the earth. He staked a claim and went to work with pick and shovel.
After weeks of labour, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore. He needed machinery to bring the ore to surface. Quietly, he covered up the mine, retraced his footsteps to his home in Williamsburg, Maryland, told his relatives and a few neighbours of the “strike.” They got together money for the needed machinery, and had it shipped. The uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.

The first car of ore was mined and shipped to a smelter. The returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! A few more cars of that ore would clear the debts. Then would come the big killing in profits.
Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Darby and Uncle! Then something happened. The vein of the gold ore disappeared! They had come to the end of the rainbow, and the pot of gold was no longer there. They drilled on, desperately trying to pick up the vein again—all to no avail.
Finally, they decided to quit.

They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer advised that the project had failed because the owners were not familiar with “fault lines.” His calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! That is exactly where it was found! The junk man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine.

If you were one of the Darbys, what would you have done, haven discovered you stopped just three feet from the gold? How many projects have you abandon because you encountered some challenges. How many times have you given up on something or are you at the verge of giving up right now; think again, you might just be three feet away from your ‘gold’. There is nothing that is impossible for you to achieve, if you can learn not to ever give up. Everyone who had ever achieved any thing great or become successful in life, from Henry Ford to Winston Churchill, Thomas Edison, Jim Carrey, Colonel Sander, Oprah Winfrey, Abraham Lincoln, Wole Soyinka, Albert Einstein and host of others do so because they never gave up. This will be leading us to the next P of success – PERSISTENCE.

Persistence – The Fourth P of Success

Ordinary men can achieve extra-ordinary things if they can be persistent in their quest(s). Just as Buddha said, “In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins—not of strength, but through persistence. Persistence is very vital in achieving success in any thing. You will always found some challenges and failure on your way to accomplishing your dream(s). The only way you can stop those challenges from stopping you is by not giving up, no matter what. Because, Your problem quits, when you refuse to quit.
It is very natural to think of quitting when at some difficult situations, but you need to learn to hang on, if you want to succeed or accomplish anything in life. Let me give you some tips that will help you to be more persistence in any thing.

Helpful Tips

1. Know What You Want : you will never be able to be persistence if you are indecisive; you are into something today and tomorrow another thing entirely. So the first step to persistence is having a definite purpose. Decide at once what you really want and go all out for it.

2. Develop a Strong Desire to Succeed : Strong desire forces one to surmount many difficulties. Whatever you wish to accomplish, develop a strong desire for success in it. The more badly you want it, the more difficult it becomes for you to give up on it.

3. Belief in Yourself : Abraham Lincoln wisely stated, “That someone achieve great thing is a proof to all that others can achieve it as well.” If others can, you can; believe in yourself. We give up so easily most time because we lost faith in ourselves. Reassure yourself over and over again that you can do it and you will.

4. Be Discipline : Discipline, said Jim Rohn “is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” If discipline is lacking in your quest for success, sooner or later your dream(s) will get stock in the “someday” Island and finally you give up. Do what you have to do at the right time, convenient or not. You can never be persistence without discipline.

5. Acquire the Right Knowledge : Very few thing will make a man quit so easily like ignorance. You will always struggle to be persistence if you are doing a guess work. Get accurate knowledge on what you are doing, and you will not only find it easier to do, but also difficult to give up on it.

6. Look for Men of Like Passion : I’m surrounded by amazing set of people who are focus and goal oriented. Their life has been a motivation to me; the passion with which they go about their dream always inspire me not to give up on anything. A wise man once said, “If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go in two. The right associate promotes persistence; you need to find one.

7. Try to Move Some Hills Before the Mountains : Your persistence power can be increased, and results are a very strong motivation for that to happen. Start with small goals, face the challenges and accomplish them. Accomplishing them sends a positive signal to your subconscious mind, which will help increase your will power. So when you are face with bigger challenges in your pursuit of greater goals, you will most likely not give up.

If you try something and it fails or seem as if it not working, try again, again and again, keep doing it, don’t stop trying until it is working. Show me a man that is not persistence in his ways and I will show you a man that can not be successful in anything. Never give up, hang on, you might be only three feet away from your “gold.”
