Go back to the old times when you were learning to ride a cycle. Do you remember how many times you fell to the ground? Perhaps you would remember how many times you ignored the bruises to pick up the bicycle and start all over again... And then the sheer joy of riding it the first time successfully without wobbling was a pure ecstasy of achievement. Wasn't that a wonderful feeling of triumph you cherished in your childhood? What was it that pushed you to learn to ride the cycle despite all odds? My answer is – Perseverance.
Perseverance is an essential quality to achieve success in any field or any area of life. Whether it is about learning to ride a cycle or conducting your business successfully. As Thomas Foxwell Buxton has rightly said, “With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.”
Generally people blame their circumstances for everything wrong. They lose hope, blame others and give up without trying hard enough. Winners need not be smarter than their competitors. Rather, it is their way of approaching the challenges, their perseverance and their attitude that helps them to score over others, solve problems and overcome obstacles.
An ant is an ideal example of perseverance. Despite being so small, it carries a load much heavier than its own body. It falls, faces hurdles and yet keeps on trudging to take its food to its home.

| Keep moving forward with relentless perseverance |
You have to keep moving forward. To motivate yourself in order to chase your dreams relentlessly, you must expect success. Once you start expecting success, your confidence in your own abilities to realize your dreams will grow. You will be surprised to find that the opportunities you were waiting for will come along your way when you are least expecting it.
The key to develop perseverance is to define a realistic goal and take small, definite steps towards your goal. This will help you enjoy smaller achievements and keep you in high spirits. Associate yourself with positive people who encourage you and keep the company of people who are strong, confident, supportive and encouraging.
Apart from meeting people with positive attitude, boost your confidence with a daily motivation. You can receive a daily dose of wisdom and motivation by reading inspirational quotes or watching a motivational video which shares the success secrets of the greatest of minds. These inspirational quotes and videos will assist you in your overall personal development. And no mission will seem impossible anymore.
