Perseverance

I want to share an excerpt from this awesome motivational mindset book that I've been reading..


'When I think of successful people, I think of Abraham Lincoln. Most people don't know his story:


He failed business in 1831.
He was defeated in state legislature in 1832.
He tried another business in 1833. It did not succeed.
His beloved fiancee died in 1835.
He had a nervous breakdown in 1836.
In 1843, he ran for Congress and was defeated.
He tried again in 1848 an dwas defeated again.
He tried running for the Senate in 1855. He lost.
The next year he ran for Vice President and lost.
In 1959 he ran for the Senate again and was defeated.
In 1860 he was elected President of the United States and has served as an iconic American hero ever since.


Imagine what his belief structure was. He always went forward. That is an exceedingly powerful key in life---to keep moving forward.'
