Once we know exactly what we want, we will have to prove it. We will be tried. We will be tested. Will you do the work that produces the results you know you want, consistently, until you get the results you want, or will you slip back into the comfortable habits of the same life you have always lived?
New things, beliefs, perspectives, habits, results, and actions, can be scary. The unknown can be viewed as a terrible, frightening trip. It can also be viewed as an adventure in learning, experimenting, teaching, and doing. It can be exhilarating and exciting! The journey, the destination, and what we accomplish, will be dependent upon our attitude of mind, our current belief system, and our personal philosophy. The better we know and think, the better we are capable of doing.
Once we have made a decision that we know will make a difference, we must stick to it! If we rest, take a few days off, or falter, it is not the end of the world. We can start again. We can choose to keep going until we accomplish the results we want to.
We can rest, but WE MUST NOT UNRAVEL. Momentum is the name of the game when it comes to personal progress.
Reminder to self: Keep going. Keep doing what you are doing. Improve every day in some small way. Every moment is an opportunity to BEGIN AGAIN.
Today’s challenge for myself: Today I will do what I know I need to do to stay on track, or I will do what I need to do to get back on track. I will keep at it. I will not quit. I will not give up.
Criss Angel is an excellent example of persistence:

It is through adding value to others by sharing and spreading wisdom, that we become more valuable as individuals, and collectively, as a whole, we all become wiser.
Remember: Mindset matters. Character counts. That which we choose to consistently focus on is what EXPANDS in our lives. WE CREATE our personal realities.
