When you reach inside

Persist

Screw-ups happen.

The opportunity you were waiting for somehow escaped your reach.  The flight was cancelled, you missed the phone call, someone didn’t keep their promise.

That’s when you reach inside.  That’s when you reach for your disciplines – the enabling habits and behaviors you maintain no matter what happens.

The grit to persist when everything seems to be falling apart.  The strength to start again, only better.  The knowledge and curiosity to discover one more path.

There is incredible power in persistence.  Too many stop the disciplines when they feel they missed the opportunity, when they can’t find the evidence it even exists.  Too many forget that our disciplines, our persistence, drive opportunity – and ultimately success.

But not you.
