The Persistence Test
Michael Angier’s email today reminded me of an incredible video I saw recently about persistence. It’s a short clip from the movie “Facing the Giants” and the message will be with you a long time.
Now, take another two minutes and take the persistence test. This eye-opening exercise is one of the many life-altering activities in our TGR Seminar that starts Tuesday.
Stumble it!

Fantastic Movie! Thank you for leading the way!
It is amazing what a person can do, when they can’t see their limitations.
Made my day!

Great Movie! Persistency leads to limitless journeys of achievements. A highly remarkable achievement for someone so young …… Age is no factors if we are humble to learn.

Thanks so much for this powerful clip . Its a confirmation of a saying that “with perseverance the snail reached the ark of noah”. The lesson for us is that with perseverance we can scale over any limitation.
A milllion thanks!.

Great clip Vic. I shall be passing that one on elsewhere and maybe having a wee sneaky look myself when I’m in a “it’s so hard” moment.
Thanks

What a terrific cllip to show us how we can achieve when we don’t think we can. The Little Engine That Could, ‘I think I Can, I think I Can. This coach was showing the boys they can, but they have to learn to think they can. He showed them how to think that way.
Sent to my daughters to share with my grandchildren.What a great stimulus for family talk.
Thanks.

This was a turning point in this movie illustrating that Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance. Very motivational!

Challenging but inspiring. None of us actually know our limit until we have tried to reach it … and then we usually sell ourselves short before we sell anyone else short. We tend to believe in ourselves less than others believe in us. Thanks for this Vic’. I will allow others to call me on and show me what I can do … so I can do the same for them.

This is a wonderful reminder that we hold our own limitations. We make our destiny and it is NOW when things need to change. I see my goals ahead and know that with persistence, I will get there.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
The road to my success….begins now.
