Something that we all could use more of is good old fashioned perseverance. Life isn't easy, but there is great value in sticking things out. Determine if your goal is of value, if it is then find a way to stick with it. It is rare that anyone succeeds in the first few attempts, so keep attempting just do not keep attempting it in a cookie-cutter way, Try new approaches, learn and adapt, on your way to success.
Sometimes, we feel like giving up. It seems like we put a lot of effort in and never succeed, but maybe if we were to take a step back: we would see that we are having a series of small wins. Even if we can't, we might need to remember to view "failure" in the light of a lesson learned. Shortly before He invented his light bulb, Thomas Edison is attributed to saying "I have not failed; I have discovered 1,000 ways not to make a light bulb." We want to encourage you today to not give up. The only way to surely fail is to never try or to stop trying. You may need a new approach, or a slight modification to your plan or goal; but do not give up on any worthwhile goal.
