So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
Galatians 6:9
Nowadays, far too little emphasis is placed on being persistent. We have no shortage of motivation, but motivation is like getting your car started. Without being persistent, you will not get anywhere worthwhile. We are motivated to tackle our problems, from debt, relationships, weight, and so on, and every new year, we make resolutions and vow to make some meaningful changes leading to better health, building closer connections with others, living a fuller life, being open to new adventures and experiences. However, without embedding these admirable ambitions into your persisting daily agenda or routines, these goals become akin to building castles in the sky.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in. and day out.
Robert Collier
We often celebrate noteworthy achievement as an isolated event, without enough emphasis on the persistent effort that has gone into making it possible. So we are increasingly seeing people who become disillusioned and discouraged when they don’t experience some meaningful feat in 30-days. We have concluded that seeing achievement through the lens of the process involved, may take the shine off an otherwise inspired narrative.
The verse highlights that if you want to reap noticeable success in any area of your life, you will need to be persistent. Determine what it takes to reach your goal and commit to taking daily incremental actions to accomplish it. Do not become discouraged as some will, by the elements, by the weather, or by the naysayers – you should keep at it and not give up.
I believe that the secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. If you make a few key decisions and then manage them well in your daily agenda, you will succeed. You will never change your life until you change something you do daily!
John C. Maxwell
Your time is a great asset and what you do with it matters most. It is the daily successess that culminates into some ultimate achievement of any high goal. Demonstrating persistency by winning daily over doubts, tiredness, procastination and the likes, makes you a worthy recipient of a harvest of success!
