"We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained." -- Marie Curie, physicist
This Weekend I watched the the biography of the world famous authour Stephen King and was inspired by his story. Like many successful people that we know, he had a wife and children to provide for on very little income; getting odd jobs here and there by day and writing stories at night. His phone, heat and hydro was constantly cut off.
His scary, blood and gore stories were turned down by publishing companies until he finally sparked the interest of one publisher who was amazed by his work. Ever since that day Stephen King has made a name for himself by creating hundreds of books, some became award winning films. Providing for his family of course was not an issue any longer.
You may or may not be a fan of Stephen King, but understanding that perseverance will open those doors in your life that seem closed for a long time. Keep trying, keep pushing, stay focused and remain diligent.
Do not grow weary in well doing, in due season you will reap the reward if you faint not - Galations 6:9
