If you want to accomplish something in life, don't quit until it's accomplished. Face each problem as it comes along; solve it and keep going forward. Nobody ever said it would be easy.

Yes, there will be problems. No matter who you are or how great your talent, there will be adversity. The successful people are the ones with perseverance, tenacity and persistence to keep struggling toward their goal. No matter how many roadblocks or obstacles are put in their way, they keep going until they reach their goal.

I like to think of these roadblocks as tests to see just how badly I want to reach my goal; tests that when passed will make me a stronger person and my goal even more worthwhile. In fact, when I readh a goal without a few good fights along the way, it seems too easy. Perhaps because the goal I set was too low to begin with. Don't let that happen to you. Set your goals higher than you can reach - then reach them.

The true test of a man's character comes when he is literally buried with problems, obstacles and roadblocks. His main objective becomes surviving. If this man can find the inner strength to keep his goal in sight, even in times such as these, he will persevere. If not, he'll join the crowd and quit.

You can get anything you want out of life if you just keep trying, just keep knocking on the door. Sooner or later, it will open for you. If you get discouraged and quit, your goal will never be reached. There will be days, as you get older, when you will remember the goals you once had.... but they will be just that, memories. It is one of the saddest feelings you might encounter in life when you think back to what might have been but never was.

Today, you still have that goal in sight. Reach for it. It's not where you are now that counts; what matters is where you are going.

If you don't do it now, you won't do it tomorrow.....
