Persistence is probably the single most common quality of high achievers. They simply refuse to give up. The longer you hang in there, the greater the chance that something will happen in your favor. No matter how hard it seems, the longer you persist the more likely your success

One of the natural laws of the Universe is in play here: accumulation.

Have you ever noticed that stuff expands into the space allotted to it. I am sure you have encounter this. You build a book case to hold a few books. Before you know it, you need another book case.

You rent a storage locker to store your extra stuff. At first it seems huge, but soon you are having trouble getting the door to shut.

This law is the reason there are so many books about simplifying, downsizing and de-cluttering.

So you ARE familiar with this law.

Unfortunately we often fail to take advantage of this law in an orderly manner.

You have a dream to go to Italy but today you can’t afford to go. So do you throw away the dream? No. You save. You consciously put aside $5.00 a day. Within a year you have over 1800 dollars saved. That might be enough for air fare and lodging for say a week. So you keep going and in two short years you have enough to stay for a month!

An athlete trains day in and day out to improve their timing by seconds or to perfect a technique. The accumulation of those days brings the reward eventually.

In my own life I have a great example.

I write a newsletter. Over the pass three years I have produced 5 newsletters a week usually missing a couple of weeks for holidays. That amounts to 750 newsletters which, taking a low ball average words per newsletter of say 250, is 187,500 words enough for two fairly large books.

Now if I set out to write 187,000 words, I would have been overwhelmed but I did it in tiny steps of 250 words at a time.

So my question is: What do you want to achieve?

What small thing can you do daily to achieve your goal?

Good.

Now start doing it.

Remember the quote above. Put it somewhere you will see it every day.
When times get tough the tough persist.

Nick Grimshawe

Wouldn’t it be great if we each had our own tough guy
to chase away the villains that plague us daily — the
limiting beliefs, the negative thoughts and emotions,
the self-sabotaging habits?
