Take a moment right now, where are you? We know you had the desire and determination to write down and create a game plan to turn your dreams into reality. What is at play now is the persistence and perseverance to achieve your dreams.

Remember the single most critical difference between people who achieve their dreams and people who do not is their level of persistence and perseverance. Those who achieve their dreams continue to work toward them no matter what. In spite of the most daunting obstacles, all the negative people who tell them it can’t be done, and numerous “failures” or false starts, the people who succeed in achieving their dreams keep on going and going and going—just like that Energizer bunny. They refuse to quit no matter what.

So whatever roadblocks you think are in your way, just remember that persistence is the great equalizer and a “must have” for all of those reaching for success. It overcomes lack of education, money, talent, intelligence, looks and all other seeming advantages.

Napoleon Hill, who wrote Think and Grow Rich, devoted an entire chapter to Persistence and said that the only thing that was different about Henry Ford and Thomas Edison was their persistence.

Persistence. Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, the Energizer bunny? How about the dog with a bone? <grin> You will not give up. You will achieve your goal. You will keep moving forward one step at a time. You will stay focused on your dream and its achievement. You ARE persistent.
