I’ve found the key to continuing forward lies in how I see the process—my perspective. I try to keep the ultimate outcome in view so that it motivates, while seeing the stretch between me and the goal in manageable increments.

Here are more thoughts about perseverance from some notable people:

“Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.” Walter Elliot

“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.” Margaret Thatcher

“Every storm runs out of rain.” Maya Angelou

“The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places.” Unknown

“If you can’t fly, then run; if you can’t run, then walk; if you can’t walk, then crawl; but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

“So let us not become tired of doing good, for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest.” Paul the Apostle, Galatians 6:9 GNTD

“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Jesus Christ, Matthew 24:13 ESV
