“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more com-
mon than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” - Calvin Coolidge
It seems like such a simple idea:
Pick one thing, and keep doing it
whether it is exercise, or practice, or study.
It is the obstinate and continuous course of action that in the end creates results.
There should be an easier way
but in the end the task does not get easier,
what gets easier is our ability to perform it.
Pick one thing, and keep doing it.
There are days that I just don't feel like it
I am not motivated, or inspired.
But motivation does not produce results.
It is the action, the persistence,
the morning ritual that you do because,
well, because you do it every day.
Persistence has made it a habit.
And now it is easy to see that
the answer is not out there,
but in here.
