The Role of Persistence in Achieving Your Goals

Goal setting is one thing we all recognize is important, both personally and professionally (even though the vast majority of people don't set any). Setting goals is one thing, achieving them is something else. If goal setting is the first step in success, persistence is a very close second.

Too many people set a goal and feel like the hard work is done. For all of the value of the Law of Attraction, the part that is often overlooked is the Law of Action. Yes, we set the goal and begin to attract it, but attraction comes much faster by taking action.

Persistent, regular, consistent action.

Here is your recipe for goal achievement.

1. Review your goal(s).
2. Take at least one step towards achieving them each day.

Like the stonemason who carves away at the rock with his hammer and chisel, one blow, one chip at a time.

Like the Salesman who makes one more sales call each day.

Like the athlete who practices everyday.

If you want to reach your goals, you must take action towards them. Don't just ponder and think about hitting a home run when you actually go to bat; go to bat. When you keep swinging you will hit some home rums, but more importantly you will hit singles and doubles.

You can achieve many goals with daily singles and doubles.

If you want to achieve your goals, be persistent. Take actions everyday that will lead towards the achievement of your goals.

If you can accelerate the effort to take many steps each day, your goals will come faster. But if you take consistent, persistent action in the direction of your goals, you will achieve more than you ever imagined to be possible.

Be persistent today.
