Press On!

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people 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

The One Thing You Need to Succeed

If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.” – Cicero

What if a thousand people were to come up to you today and express
serious doubts about what you are doing and your ability to get it done?
Think of how much your confidence would be shaken.
Now imagine how stunningly different it would be if a thousand people
today were to offer you a word of encouragement, and to express
enthusiasm for what you're doing. You'd be so completely confident that
nothing could stop you.

In fact, you will receive a thousand opinions today. But the vast
majority of them won't come from strangers. They will come from someone
you have believed and trusted all your life. They will come from you.

In every moment, in each thought you think, you have the opportunity to
express confidence in yourself and in the value of what you're doing.
The power of those thoughts can add up very quickly.

Every moment you are thinking something, and you can choose what those
thoughts will be. So choose the ones that will lift you up and push you
positively forward.

Until our next moment......keep improving and remember: BE CONFIDENT in yourself and your abilities!

Believe in yourself

Don't let these thoughts continue to hold you back
