Resolution to Succeed

“Always bear in mind, that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing.” Abraham Lincoln 

Abraham Lincoln happened to be a pretty great leader and his quote is simple and to the point.  Nothing is more important to our personal success than our own resolution to be successful.  Lincoln demonstrated this throughout his life.  He didn’t give up, he didn’t give in, he didn’t listen to what his critics had to say.  Instead he had the personal resolve to succeed…no matter what. 

Our success in life is largely determined by our resolution to be successful.  If we refuse to give up, then we refuse not to win.  When we develop this type of attitude and conviction we will find success in life, it is inevitable.

Too often in life, I see people give up or give in too easily.  They claim they really want something in life but when the going gets tough, they move on.  It is as if they believe things will magically fall in to their lap or will simply be handed to them without work, challenges, or struggles.  Unfortunately, for the most part, the real world isn’t like this.  The real world rewards the persistent, those who have their “own resolution to succeed”, no matter what comes their way.     

I hope that we can have the resolve that Lincoln demonstrated throughout his life.  When we are determined and completely committed to success, no matter what, we will not fail.
