Keep at success and it will keep you.
“Keep at it!” said Edison to Ford when Ford sketched up his idea for an engine on back of a napkin.
If life were easy what would be the point? It is the daily struggle; the idea of challenging ourselves to do, to overcome and to achieve that keeps us. The very best ingredients of our character come from our willingness to do. We learn to be patient, to keep steady and that through our will to do we find a way.
The point to get across here is that to bring success you must do, keep doing and never give up. Try your best to get whatever it is you must get done finished. And though it is hard to free your mind from discouragement, remember always that you are the master of your destiny.
Don’t be in a hurry. Real success isn’t something made over night. It is a steady progression that is made in the way a climber scales an icy cliff. First he digs his boots into the ice. Then he swings his axe above his head. So long as he secures one boot before the next and firmly digs in with his axe, he is free from danger. It is when he tries to climb too quick that he suddenly slips and loses all that he has gained. Success may seem hard to summit at first but keep going. Sure success comes through steady steps.
Keep in good spirits. Although it may be hard to do it is actually the secret to success. Have you ever seen the jolly fellow who keeps at a positive attitude even when things never seem to go his way? Everyone wants to be around him. Everyone wants to be his friend. Everyone cheers him on. Everyone says in their mind, “He is going to be a success one day.”
Make today a day of success. If you have some obligation to be met and you are dreading it, go right away and get it over with. To be successful you’re going to have to stare the tiger in it’s eyes.
If you owe money, go and pay it. And if you cannot pay it right away do what little you can. Just do something. Get the debt off of your chest. Don’t avoid those nagging calls from the creditor. Answer them and explain to them what you can or cannot do and find out where there is a solution. Put the cards in your hand. That’s how the successful gambler keeps rich.
If your goal is to save money start now and keep at it. What was once ten dollars is soon to be one-hundred and then one-thousand. Start now and don’t stop.
If you have wanted to do something go at it and get it done. That’s what separates the successful from the unsuccessful.
What you have planned for your future may seem so far off that you don’t feel that it is attainable. Go for it anyways. It is thought that entertains life. What you do today matters tomorrow.
Stop thinking so hard on what you should do, could do, or would do and get to it.
