Success Step: Choose to Persist! Do not quit! Our success series has reached the final step! Choose to persist! That is the thing that rings in my head when I think about the word “persist,” which is the last step in this series of reaching our goals. The crazy thing is often the ones who choose to give up have actually made it through the stages of success and have accomplished or achieved exactly what they were after. It is then that often they choose to sit back and take a long hard earned break, or they stop doing the things that brought them to that place. Some even experience a burnout and give up at this point. I see it all the time and I have come to realize it may have something to do with not pacing ourselves through the process. We must choose to persist! It is important to set our goals and dreams and put them into motion but if we do not put a plan together that we can maintain after the goal is reached, it is not a good plan at all. Something needs to change. A personal current example happened in January when I purposed in my heart to write a book, as since I started this blog just five months ago, I have come to realize my first two months of posts were forming a book I had not set out to write yet. So I made a plan to get the content together and create eBooks and a physical book to be completed by May of this year. I have started preparing for it as well, but I am realizing my timeline is not realistic for me. I have purposed in my heart to complete this goal but I am redefining the plan of action. If I chose to continue on the time path I was headed, I believe I would not have been able to persist through it to see it completed or done well. The self appointed stress has already begun to lift since I made the decision last week to allow more time to complete the job. The harvest will come but I am choosing to persist and not set myself up for a burnout. Success happens long past the point of reaching our goals. We must choose to persist! Paul gave excellent advice to help in my choice to persist. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9 A few years ago, I was asked to speak at Francis Tuttle Vo-Tech in Oklahoma City to adult and traditional students on Success. Shortly after, the opportunity to present the same message to entrepreneurs was given to me as part of a leadership series. The talk was tailored to the audience but the message was the same. You are invited to watch the video of this success talk I gave at the school. Won’t you join the movement to succeed in your purpose and choose to persist?
