A friday thought… and then some…



Are you Practicing Persistence?



History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refuse to become discouraged by their defeats- B.C. FORBES Founder of Forbes magazine

Persistence is probably the single most common quality of high achievers. They simply refuse to give up.The longer you hang in there, the greater the chance that something will happen in your favor. You are going to have to persist in the face of unseen obstacles, that no amount of planning or forethought could have predicted.


Sometimes the Universe will even test your commitment to your goals. The going may be hard, requiring you to refuse to give up while you learn new lessons, develop new parts of yourself and make difficult decisions. Terry Fox, when asked how he kept himself going as exhaustion set in and he had thousands of km ahead of him, his answer “I just kept running to the next telephone pole”


Whenever you run into an obstacle or roadblock, you need to stop and come up with 3 strategies for handling that obstacle. Always be solution oriented. Persevere until you find a way that works.


“It’s always to soon to quit”
– Norman Vincent Peale, Author


“Difficulties are opportunities to better things; they are stepping- stones to greater experience,,,When one door closes, another always opens; as a natural law it has to, to balance”
.-BRIAN ADAMS, Musician


Welcome to today!


I’m making a concerted effort to make sure I’m not spamming anyone with unsolicited emails and one aspect of it is to ensure highest quality materials and reduce the number of times it’s sent. Going forth, I will be consolidating my emails into one and send it as a blooper in the bottom of my Friday thoughts. Following are the items that I wanted to share: (These are loaded onto my blog on regular basis and watch out for HeyAddy TV coming soon)
