What carries you through the tough times? What gives you power to overcome adversity? Passion! Poet William Arthur Ward suggested that the key to success is to
Believe while others are doubting.
Plan while others are playing.
Study while others are sleeping.
Decide while others are delaying.
Prepare while others are daydreaming.
Begin while others are procrastinating.
Work while others are wishing.
Save while others are wasting.
Listen while others are talking.
Smile while others are frowning.
Commend while others are criticizing.
Persist while others are quitting.
-my words..not Mr. Maxwell's-
If you read through this several times you'll realize it refers to any part of your life in which you are desiring success, whether it's business, weight loss, writing a book, running a marathon, homeschooling your kids...The energy to stay at it comes from your passion and ability to push through even when it the going is rough. It's easy to stick with your plans when everything is sunshine and roses!
