Create the life you want
If I could give you any gift today, it would be the gift of persistence. Persistence is the key to unlock and create the life you want.
Creativity, passion or intelligence accomplish nothing without persistence.
PERSISTENCE, THE KEY TO ACCOMPLISHMENT
The definition of persistence from the Oxford Dictionaries is “firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.”
Difficulty or opposition probably sound familiar, if you have ever tried to walk out a big dream, it probably does!
VINCENT VAN GOGH’S WORK IS A GREAT EXAMPLE
A great example of persisting, even during difficult times is Vincent Van Gogh.
Van Gogh’s masterpieces are considered some of the most valuable artwork in the world. He created them without much encouragement or support.
From all accounts, Vincent didn’t start out with anyone cheering him on, but still worked hard at perfecting the artwork we enjoy today.
