I really believe one of the biggest things that separates those who have big accomplishments from average is the ability to stick with something.
There are tons of people in the world with awesome ideas, they start off all excited about their idea then lose steam, and give up. Maybe they just got tired of the work, or maybe they think they now have a better idea.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t quit things at certain points and try new things but if you find yourself going no where because you can’t stick with something then you may need to come to the realization that you are lacking some follow through and discipline.
Everyone wants that dream job, that million in the bank, that ability to really make something of their lives and of others, but not many have the perseverance and grit that it takes to keep going even when you are knocked on your face.
So don’t give up so easily. Keep pounding, keep at it. It will pay off.
