The key to success in life
Prepare yourself to endure. How many times should you get up after being knocked down? Once, twice, three times? How about until you're dead. If one strategy doesn't work, rack your brain to find another. And another. And another. Resolve, like belief, is an inexplicable but irresistible force that lives in every single one of us. We all have the power to summon up an inflexible will to win. Even when you lack a plan or can't find the path to your goal, take solace and encouragement from the fact that resolve is the fuel that drives the engine of accomplishment and you literally have an inexhaustible supply. It will only stop flowing when you shut it off yourself. People often make the mistake of allowing their resolve to fade when they fail to accomplish a goal in a particular time frame. But people who succeed often do so because they continue on past the point where they expected to have already succeeded but didn't.
