Studies indicate that the one quality all successful people have is persistence. They are willing to spend more time accomplishing a task and to persevere in the the face of many difficult odds. There is a very positive relationship between people’s ability to accomplish any task and the time they are willing to spend on it.

  1. People often tell me that they would love to be able to draw. I tell them they can, if they want to badly enough. But what that actually means is that they need to spend 10,000 hours drawing. If they do that, they may or may not be a great artist, but they’ll be very good at drawing and better than most people. The important thing is that they have to want it badly enough to put in the time.

  2. Hi Don Charisma Joshua Chapter 1 in the Holy Bible lets us know how to have “good success.”

    The key verses are 6 through 9:

    Joshua 1
    6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

    7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.

    8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

    9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

    Joshua was leading the children of Israel, God’s chosen people, to possess the promised land – their inheritance. God let Joshua know how he would have “good” success. You see there are many kinds of success. But only good success comes from meditating on God’s Word day and night and not letting God’s Word depart from your mouth.

    When I say the word “holy” what does that mean to you?

    Thanks for posting, thanks for following.

    1. You’re welcome … I do certainly meditate on God’s word day and night … and never really gave it much thought, holy, I thought it was a type of tree with spiky leaves they used to make wreaths ? … ah, oh dear, that’s holly, I guess you mean holy as in “the holy bible” or “the holy spirit” ? what does it mean to you ?

  3. Reblogged this on Inspiration Poetry and commented:
    he woman who did not get an answer pestered the Judge in the Bible. The Judge became tired of her complaints and granted her request. The same situation, the squeaky wheel always gets the oil. 🙂

  5. While there are many examples of overnight successes, the path to success is usually uphill with lots of twists and turns. Serendipity plays a role here and there, but I don’t count on it!

  6. The difference between perseverance and crazy is whether you win. Because crazy is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
