Today's Motivation - Persistence

“Don’t stop when you are tired, stop when you’re done.”

-         Steve Harvey

“Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.”

-         Tony Robbins

“You are your greatest Investment.”

-         Larenz Tate  

The words of encouragement to persist, from three well known and successful men is going to be our focus today. First of all Steve Harvey encourages us to continue working towards our life goals with such determination that no matter how tired and discouraged we may get at times, keep focused on our goals until we see it come to pass.

Next, Tony Robbins encourages us to persist fearlessly. He is saying that we should continually keep the vision of our goals before us and do not let any sort of anxiety distract us from what it is we want. By doing this we will surely be able to achieve what we have set out to do.

Finally, Larenz Tate reminds us of our greatest investment. He is saying that sometimes we forget that we are important and in order for others to believe in us, we must first believe in ourselves. This reminds me of a story I once read where a woman was running a marathon and was at a disadvantage because she was crippled. Her feet were turned in while her left knee was turned out. That woman was the last person to cross the finish line when all the cheering crowd had gone. Now, that is persistence! May we continue to persist today to reach our goals. Be blessed.
