When there seemed to be no hope at all

Take a look at the quote on this picture.

Most of the important things in the world have been achieved by people who kept trying when there seemed to be no hope at all!

Does that challenge and encourage you? I trust it does. Today I have been studying some of the famous quotes about persistence.

There are so many good quotes many by famous (and not so famous, but nevertheless successful) people that will both challenge and encourage you. They challenge you to keep going and encourage you to know that when you do keep going, you have an excellent chance of succeeding!

Look what Elbert Hubbard said:

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

This really compliments the first quote (for which we do not have an author). There is no doubt about it, if you don’t give up, you HAVE to succeed.

Have you been working hard on a project yet still don’t see the end? Keep going!

Have you been trying to start a business or a foundation? Are you working towards achieving your dreams, yet somehow it LOOKS like nothing is working out for you?

Keep going! Use that determination that you have and persist and it WILL work out for you.

Louis Pasteur used his determination to persist and here is what he says: Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity.

Let’s follow the example of these great men and women who became great not so much because they achieved the success they are known for, but because they NEVER gave up.

Don’t be discouraged. It’s often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. ~Author Unknown

JillMay you find that last key soon!

22 May 2010 When There Is No Way Out

Caged inWhat do you do when you find yourself cornered into a difficult situation where there seems to be no way out?

Obstacles are a part of life, especially for those who have decided to take action and pursue their dreams and life purpose.

There is a purpose for you inside of the most difficult situation, even though it may seem there is no way out.

Every obstacle offers you the opportunity to show your earnestness, determination and relentlessness in your pursuit of your dreams.

  • How much do you REALLY want to achieve your dreams?
  • Are you prepared to achieve them at any cost?
  • Tony Robbins is quoted as saying: “Those who are relentless find a way”.

Finding your way out of a difficult situation can only strengthen your determination, character and your vision. The result will always be growth!

The dictionary defines the word relentless as “not to be appeased by treaty, grim determination, not to be placated – showing no signs of slackening or yielding in one’s purpose.”

Now that is determination personified right?

“Not to be appeased by treaty” No one and nothing can talk you out of your pursuit or offer you anything that will distract you.

Remember the English sport of Fox Hunting. The fox hound is trained to stay FOCUSED on the fox. Even though a juicy rabbit may cross it’s path while it is pursing the fox, a well trained hound will NOT be distracted.

“Grim determination” This is a phrase that is used to describe a laser focused determination. This is certainly the kind of determination that the fox hound displays. It CANNOT be distracted nor can it be discouraged!

Not to be placated. No one can change your mind about your goals. They may seem impossible to those around you. People may scoff, and try to lower you to their “reason”, especially when you are facing an obstacle that may seem impossible to overcome.

But you will not listen to reason. You will only listen to your dream!

Showing no signs of slackening or yielding in one’s purpose. You are tireless with no signs of giving up.

So many people give up just a few days, hours or worse still – minutes before they could have achieved victory! But you are not one of those! You are a tireless champion who WILL achieve the success you are aiming at.

How you react or act when obstacles cross your path will prove just how strong your desire to achieve your dreams really is.

JillHow relentless are you in the pursuit of your dreams?
