Keep Moving Forward

Definition of Persistence: firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.

There is a number of times that everyone must feel overwhelmed or frustrated at the oppositions one faces every day. In these times I isolate myself from those around me and then focus on mental imagery that will push me through those frustrations or doubts. I concentrate on a visual in my mind's eye a continuous crashing of sea waves against the rocks. For you see rocks and cliffs seem like formidable barriers and obstacles in the wave's path, holding strong to their position while wave after wave beat against them. At a snap shot the rocks seems to be stronger of the two but overtime they will wear down by the waves persistence force.

While visualizing this imagery I tell myself I will be a force of nature persistently pushing my path against the obstacles in front of me. The waves do not get frustrated or doubtful of their countless attempts against the rocks but rally again and again until the dismaying obstacle is no more.

I hold this image in my mind and until I reclaim assurance that I like the waves will rally again and again.

Energy and Persistence conquer all things. Benjamin Franklin

There is enough against your ambitions in the world, so do not let quitting be one of them keep moving forward.
