Chin Up! Keep Going!

Chin Up! Keep Going!
------------------------------
Today's Empowering Quote
------------------------------
"Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of
persistence."
--Ray Kroc
------------------------------
Today's Empowering Question
------------------------------
"Am I even a little closer today to my goal than
yesterday?"
------------------------------
Today's Fast Session
------------------------------
For those of you who don't know Ray Kroc, he's the guy who
took McDonald's from a little hamburger stand to the most
successful restaurant chain in the world. He's long passed
away and the systems that he set up still thrive and
dominate today.
He developed and improved on systems of training, making
the food, presentation, franchising, and advertising that
made a moderately successful joint into a global phenomenon.
Systems and persistence.
Many people thought he was a crazed lunatic, concerning
his fanaticism about consistency. But Ray understood that
once a system, good or bad, is in place, it's nearly
impossible to change it.
And that's how we all are as individuals, too. Once we
get a habit, it becomes very hard to break...
Giving up too soon is the saddest thing in the world.
My wife told me a story the other day about a co-worker
who has never hit the 'Help' button in any software program
she's ever used...and she's used computers every day for
years. She thinks it will take too long to find the
answer, so she just doesn't even bother.
Don't laugh--you probably have a few of these yourself.
Find them and snuff them out.
Do you look at potential goals and get overwhelmed by all
the stuff you'd have to do to achieve it and thus never
start anything? The right way is to write down all the
benefits that you'll get--spiritually, physically,
emotionally, socially... any benefit.
Look far into the future. Write 'em down.
This simple exercise will help you stay motivated to see
it through.
If it takes months or even years to get what you want,
keeping your eye on the ball will keep you going. If you
don't even know why you're doing something, how can you
possibly stay passionate about it?
You can't.
Have you given up on a goal recently, where if you
attained it, your life would be dramatically improved?
Were you passionate about the goal?
Of course you weren't.
Passionate desire helps create persistence.
Persistence alone will often get you where you want to go.
Without it, it doesn't matter how much you know, who you
know, who you are, what you've done before, what you look
like or how much money you have to throw at a problem.
Persistence, sheer persistence usually will win.
Determination will overcome even superior talent.
Even if you never reach the goal that you've worked so
hard for, there is a pretty decent ancillary benefit...
Character.
Tomorrow's another day. Your day.
