Your Own Resolution To Succeed Is More Important Than Any Other One Thing! – Abraham Lincoln
Success is a journey you have to embark on. Your road to success is like any other road, there will be bumps, sharp bends, potholes and so on. However, if your mission or goal is to succeed in your chosen endeavor, then you must be ready for them and adjust accordingly. Never allow them to intimidate you, or deviate you from your path to success. You need to be persistent and never give in to negativity, criticism or persecution.
You are responsible for your success. It doesn’t matter what people might have said about you, that’s old news! It doesn’t matter how many times you have failed in so many things, that again is old news! If you study your road to success properly (the knowledge & skills you need to succeed), and are willing to pass through the detours (critics, negative thoughts, procrastination, laziness, distractions, etc) then no matter what, you will reach the finishing line.
Even though events and other people might stand in your way, you still have the power to overcome all the odds to become a success. It is your own willingness, desire, knowledge, skills and persistence that will see you through to success. If Abraham Lincoln did it, You too can do it. There are so many people who succeeded in life because they desired to succeed.
We don’t hear much about Abraham Lincoln’s defeats because his victories were so notable. But for the most part of his life, the odds were against him.
When he was nine, his mother died.
In 1832 he lost an election to an Illinois State legislature.
In 1849 he was rejected as Commissioner of the General Land Office
In 1855 he lost Senate race
In 1856 he was unsuccessful in his bid for the vice presidency
In 1858 he lost Senate race again
However, his most painful losses were the deaths of his 4 year old and 12 year old sons. He was born in the backwoods of Kentucky with a few months of schooling without any text books. Students back then had to repeat and understand the words of their teachers! He read the classics, taught himself mathematics, worked on his writing and speaking skills. His philosophy was, I will study and prepare, and when the time comes, I will be ready!
He told a friend, “Bear in mind, Jimmy that, your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing”
Yes, Bad things happened to Abraham Lincoln, but let me inform you why bad things often happen to good people:
Bad things happen to good people because it is a necessary part of making a good person great!
Failure isn’t permanent unless you quit. Failing is only a detour not a dead-end. Failure is never final – unless you choose to give up! Don’t give up, keep going.
I want to challenge you today, to prepare yourself, get the knowledge you need, learn from whomever you need to learn from, and get moving to success. Let nothing stop you! Your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing!
