Mother of all the Success Skills

When I think of of the skills needed to be successful, one stands longer than the others. It is persistence. We could all use a little more persistence. It keeps us bounding over the hurdles placed in our way. Whether they be self-imposed or placed there by others. It places the achievement in the context of effort over time, not only as a duration of work, but truly as a accomplishment over the hurdle of time passing.

Individually do you need more persistence in starting something or finishing? That idea you have been kicking around for a few months or years, but just haven't taken that leap. That half finished project in the garage that is waiting for that elusive 'round-tu-it'. Or maybe it is all a matter of persistence to finish - i.e. you have to start to be able to finish.

I am going to take the first of every month to remind myself to be more persistent.
