Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - Persistence

[Guest guest]

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - "Persistence"Everyone likes to feel good. But, sometimes, postponing those good feelingswill get you more of what you want in the end.All of us know what it's like to be impatient for good things to happen.When we're kids, we say we "can't wait" for the holidays or some otherspecial occasion we've been anticipating. But the ability to wait is animportant part of becoming an adult. In fact, the ability to delay our needfor immediate gratification, so that we can enjoy something even better downthe road, is a critical part of almost every success story I've ever heard.What's more, there are very few overnight successes. When success doeshappen, it is usually a product of sustained effort over the long haul. Therewards we receive in life are usually a direct result of the contributionswe make, and parents who teach their children

otherwise are doing them nofavor.If our toddlers believe that the world owes them a living, or that they areentitled to feel happiness and pleasure without having to do anything toearn it, why are we so surprised when they turn to drugs or alcohol whenthey get a little older? Or when they marry and then quickly divorce becausethey aren't having as much fun as they had hoped?Persistence in working toward worthwhile long-term goals is the best way Iknow to guarantee lasting happiness.Lou TiceThe Pacific Institutewww.thepacificinstitute.com"TPI teaches people how to manage change, set and achieve goals, lead moreeffectively, and think in ways that create success."---------------------------------------------------The Pacific Institute copyrights 1997-2005.
