The Importance of Perseverence (Part 1)
In “The Word for Today” they talk about Perseverence and what it means. This topic touches us every time we come across it and we wanted to share it with all of you.
Perseverence means: (1) Succeeding because you’re determined to, not because you’re entitled to. Achievers don’t sit back and wait for success because they think the world “owes them”. No, if you’re wise you’ll ask God for direction, stand firm on what you have within you, go forward and refuse to quit. You must adopt the attitude of the man who said, “We are determined to win. We’ll fight them until hell freezes over, and if we have to, we’ll fight them on ice.” Be relentless!
(2) Recognizing that life is not one long race, but many short ones in succession. Each task has its own challenges and each day its own events. YOu have to get out of bed the next morning and run again, but it’s never exactly the same race. To be successful you must keep plugging away. It’s said that Columbus faced incredible difficulties while sailing west in search of a passage to Asia. He encountered storms, experienced hunger, deprivation and extreme discouragement. The crews of his three ships were near mutiny. But his account of the journey says the same thing over and over. “Today we sailed on.” And his perseverence paid off. He didn’t discover a fast route to the spice-rich Indies; instead he found a new continent.
So make it your decision this year, this week, today…to stand strong and persevere no matter what obstacles you may face. It is your decision that will enable you to achieve success. No one who is successful doesn’t go thru multiple obstacles before they become “successful”.
Stay tuned for more on this subject. It is our goal to help each and everyone of you to stay motivated and inspired so that you will be able to persevere in this new year.
To your success!

Make 2009 Your Year
On the first of the year something magical happens: a new year is upon us with endless possibilities and a hope for a better future. So what are we to do? Stay at the same place or change everything we do to attain the goals that we have set? That answer to that is only you can change. The world changes all the time. The question is will you? If you are happy with everything you have as of December 31, 2008, you do not need to change. As for us we want more and 09 will be the best Year we will ever have. Not because we say so, but because we will work and plan harder. Why is it that most people will plan more to celebrate New Years Eve than they do to plan their success? We have been writing down Goals since yesterday for the Year 2009. It will be the best year for us and our family. Ask yourself this: when was the last time you wrote down your plans and goals for a project you wanted to accomplish? If you have to think about it for a while, you are not doing it enough.
Success in Life works like a computer whatever you put into it you will get out of it. Put in or type in nothing you get nothing. Why not reach for the stars, why not see how much more you can accomplish if you just plan better?
Here are some definitions:
Procrastinate = to defer action, to delay, until an opportunity is lost.
Worker = a person or thing that works: “says it all”
Crisis = a condition of instability or danger in social economic or international affairs leading to a decisive change, a turning point
Hustler = An enterprising person determined to succeed. Go Getter.
Now that you know the Webster definition of these words let me shed some light on our U.S. situation. We have procrastinated so long, we as Americans have put everything off till tomorrow and it has become our habit, and because we do have that habit, as of January 2ND of 2009 over one million and half workers will be laid off.
A worker according to Webster’s definition is a person or thing that works. Industry has labeled us as things that work. Stop being a thing and start creating something Great. Start building your Dream. It’s a decision that a Crisis of this nature makes us do we do not have a choice. Do not be fooled that a new President,a New Congress or a New House of Representatives will change our situation. It’s up to us, the People, to make a change. We have to make a Decision for Change whether we like it or not. We have to change and stop being a thing that works. The world in 2009 will belong to the Hustler the Go Getter. We will be the ones that reap the rewards of Financial Freedom.
The Worker will be devastated in 2009 for they believe their Company’s will bail them out. I will say it again, 09 will belong to the Hustler, the person that wants it more. You have a Financial Life Saving decision to make during this Crisis: will you Procrastinate or put your Worker Boots on and become The Hustler you can be in 2009? The World is yours for the Taking. This Toast is for you. Go out and Get them. To your record Breaking year in 2009 and next January you can truly celebrate your accomplishments. God Bless you!!!
