Keep Showing Up

Keep Showing Up

July 9, 2012

Persistence is THE number one ingredient necessary for accomplishing any worthwhile goal.  Books are written, songs are sung, and speeches are given – all with the intent of motivating the listener to keep going forward. 

With this spirit in mind, here are 16 thoughts to encourage you to keep trying and keep working toward your dream.

-Get back up on the horse.

-Try, try again.

-Never, never, never give up. (Winston Churchill)

-You’ve failed.  So what?  Now you know one more thing that doesn’t work.

-Do it again.

-Go back up to bat.

-Swing and a miss.  Swing again.

-Take that test again.

-Every “no” just brings you that much closer to “yes”.

-I can do better next time.

-Next time we’ll get it right.

-Success simply comes from going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.  (Page 103-Three Feet from Gold)

-You need two types of courage –

First, the courage to get started

Second, the courage to not quit.  (Page 110 Three Feet from Gold)

-Act in spite of fear. 

-Never let mistakes define who you are.

-Don’t quit five minutes before the miracle happens.  (Page 199 Three Feet from Gold)

The bottom line – Keep Showing Up.
