Perseverance – a term for human endurance is key to achieving your goals/dreams. The road to accomplishing your goal will always be full of challenges and obstacles. To be able to navigate through them and come up on top you need to possess the ability to weather the storms as you go through life. Not giving up in the face of setbacks makes you tougher to face the next challenge.

Never Look Back and Never Giving Up!
Monday, May 25th, 2009Setbacks are inevitable in life. A setback can act as a driving force and also teach us humility. In grief you will find courage and faith to overcome the setback. We need to learn to become victors, not victims. Fear and doubt short circuit the mind. Ask yourself after every setback: What did I learn from this experience? What should I do to make sure this doesn’t repeat again? Only then will you be able to turn a stumbling block into a stepping stone. Disappointments will cross your path in the future. Every day brings its share of challenges. Still, we can choose to enjoy each day as it comes, purposing not to dwell on the things we can’t change. As our attitude towards life changes, we identify the opportunities left in front of us. This hope re-ignites in our hearts, and we begin to dream again.
Half Full Or Half Empty? You Are the Author of Your Life-Story So You Can Re-Write the Plot
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009Do you know you can choose the way you perceive your experiences? One of the presuppositions of Neuro-Linguistic-Programming(NLP), which is often called the psychology of excellence because it provides a model of what high-achievers do, is that there is no failure, only feedback. In other words, you can choose to regard anything which does not work out right for you or the way you wanted it to, as a learning step in finding the right way to go about it. Most successful people, if you do even a little research, have experienced setbacks, and even what others might consider to be spectacular failures. You will see that they learned from their mistakes, made adjustments to the way they did things and had the faith and resilience to continue until they achieved success. I love hearing stories about people who were told, often when they were young, that they could not do something, that they lacked the abilities in some way, then went on to achieve remarkable results. There are many examples of this in the histories of famous people such as Einstein, Winston Churchill and so on.
