Perseverance is a word that is sometimes not recognized for its fair value while I think it is important to revalue it because I consider it an essential factor, as well as the key to success in any endeavor we undertake.
Perseverance is the constancy to pursue our dreams, to insist on an attitude or an activity in which we believe: it is therefore a virtue as indispensable as valuable.
Often we are bombarded by the media or advertising messages that highlight the immediacy: instant wealth, instant beauty, ultra-fast career... but in everyday life things run differently and often it is thanks to the "not give up" that we get our victories.
Perseverance it may be compared to its conquest in life, a steady hand on the tiller, which did not get cravings because it is aware of the goal it wants to achieve.
It is the sure step that takes place day after day because you know the destination. Day after day, week after week, month after month, in silence, without rumble. But apparently that insignificant step is what brings us to kilometers, that brings us to build our lives, to dissolve seemingly intractable situations.
However, it is easy to feel confident at the beginning of a business, but after all that time that you fight strenuously, and when the results are slow in coming, it is just as easy and understandable to yield to that sense of exhaustion and discouragement.
There, that is the time to not give up.
NEVER.
Surely the strength to go on in spite of everything is closely linked to how much we really believe in what we want to achieve, how much we trust in it. At any time you can feed your conviction. Then, our eyes will be able to see a little light and some color even in a particularly gray day. And from restart again.
With love,
Rossella Bartolozzi
" If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but think you can't,
It is almost certain that you won't.
If you think you will lose, you are lost.
For out of this World we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will,
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You've got to think high, to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go to
The stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the man,
Who wins is the man,
Who thinks he can..”
Bruce Lee
