persistence the key to success

A lot of people are ready to throw their aims and purpose overboard and give up at the first sign of defeat. Only a few persist until they attain their goal. Lack of persistence is one of the major causes of failure. It is a weakness common to the majority of people and it can only be overcome by effort. The starting point of all achievement is desire, weak desires bring weak results. If you are weak in persistence centre your attention on building a stronger fire under your  desires. Those who have cultivated the habit of persistence seem to enjoy insurance against failure. Be persistent no matter how slowly you may at first, have to move. With persistence will come success.

five major cause of failure

I was just go through a motivation book today and I came across the reasons why majority of people who fail, compared to the few who succeed and I just feel like to share with you five major causes of failure.

1. LACK OF A WELL-DEFINED PURPOSE IN LIFE: there is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose, or definite goal, at which to aim.

2. LACK OF SELF-DISCIPLINE: Discipline comes through self-control. Self-mastery is the hardest job you will ever tackle, before control conditions you must first control yourself.

3. PROCRASTINATION: we go through life as failures because we are waiting for the ‘time to be right’ to start doing something worthwhile. Do not wait. The time will never be ‘just right’ start where you stand work with whatever tools you may have and better tools will be found as you o along.

4. LACK PERSISTENCE: most of us are good ‘starters’ but poor ‘finishers’ of whatever we start, always remember failure cannot cope with persistence.

5. OVER-CAUTION: The person who takes no chances generally has to take whatever is left when others have finished choosing. life itself is filled with the element of chance.

There are many more….But these are basically the foundation of failure to me. It may be different for others. So which one of these are you guilty of from the list and you are working toward to improve. For me it No 4…..yes No 4. Just comment on the box below.

The Reason For Failure

One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat. We are all guilty of it, temporary defeat should mean only one thing, that there is something wrong with your plan. When faced with defeat the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what most people do. Millions of people go through life in misery and poverty because they lack a sound plan. If the first plan you did does not work, replace it with a new plan. If this new plan fails to work, replace it with another, until you find a plan which does work and also follow your plan with persistence.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, replace it with new ones and  set sail once more towards your goals. If you give up before your goal has been reached you are a ‘quitter’ remember “QUITTER NEVER WINS AND WINNER NEVER QUITS.

You can do it! Nobody have done it

Whenever I hear this words “you can do it! Nobody have done it or those who did it fail so don’t boarder trying because you will also fail so don’t try it, then I ask myself why should I listening to what they are saying…in life success and failure are largely the results of habit. The average human being can tell you all the reasons or ways why you will fail in whatever you doing but cannot tell you how to succeed in life.
It is said that there is greatness in every individual on earth, there is greatness resident in you. You came to this world not empty handed. You came loaded by the divine creator for you to impact this world. Develop your mind for greatness and great things. Realize that you were born great in life and you are to release your greatness for the world to see. Do not live life in regret, live your best life now. It is better to try and fail and not to try at all and still fail. Always remember that mistakes are priceless opportunities to learn essential lessons.
There is a voice in us crying not to be unrecognized….. it is the voice of greatness.
so what are you waiting for? the world want to hear!
