Amen on persistence.

Often people stop whent hey failed. They got to realize their failure as a feedback and then keep on going.

Persistence will get where we want to be. It take diligence and hard work to get there. It is worth the pain of hard work for a better living.

The Bamboo story is great! It makes sense. One foot in front of the other will get you to the top of the hill. DO NOT GIVE UP! Thanks for sharing.

I love your website! Thank you for reiterating many of the truths I already know, and thank you for the stories I’d never known, such as the Asian bamboo tree. I am so thankful that my path was led to your website and I plan to come here often to drink deeply of the truth and to reinvigorate my Spirit. The messages from within this site are surely to be a blessing to all.

Thank-you.

This year I had one of the worst cases of depression I have ever had, my poor family and workmates. I blamed those who I thought were responable and was justified in that. I looked and prayed for answers, but none came, or so I thought. Finally, the tide turned and some things slowly started to happen.

On reflection I have realised (Australian spelling!) that there is not one goal in my life that does not effect or not have a benefit to others. I have always has dreams and visions from a child and just the other day I realised they are all very similar and the same. My depression I now see as a not something pushed upon me or caused by someone else but as pain left unchecked and fear unconquered, an attack from within. Now I can see. Thank-you again.

This is so true, and many young businesses need to understand it, this came to me at the right time to remind me! My business was created to help others, and statements like this from people who have been there is a great motivator for anyone who is following their dream/vision.

I liked the article….I had great persistence when deciding to follow
holistic wellness in my family,(nearly 30 years ago) when all around were calling me silly names, and now I lecture at a College of Natural Medicine as well as being an holistic therapist. I am also participating in being a leader in the mental health arena and challenging the concept that medical intervention is the only answer.

Excellent article. There is so much truth in it.
Recalling my own LIFE, 49 years, I have learnt so many valuable lessons about LIFE through persistence in sport.
