Persistence & Determination
“If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, ‘Here comes number seventy-one!'” ~ Richard M. DeVos.
Every blessing….with prayer.

Just A Thought (Word of Hope) 
Love this one! Exactly what I was thinking today. Determination, persistance and faith – in your dreams and ability to achieve your goals! And what is it that we can’t do in Christ?! 🙂
True that! What is that we can’t do in Christ?! Thanks for commenting Tusia. All the best
spot on! but why number seventy-one?
Hi Jones, thanks for passing by. I suppose it is simply a way to emphasise that the trials may be numerous…’for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again’ Prov 24:16. Its not really about the number then, but that one should persist through tough situations, no matter how many or how often…any thoughts?
thanks for that.
A pleasure Jones. See you back on the blog next week?
Determination is a true gift, perhaps one of the best. Out of it cmes perseverance, resilience & fortitude
. Not all Christians are determined, indeed much of our failure is not from lack of trying but from giving up too quickly.But all successful people are determined, be they Christians or not.
I am committed to my dream so I choose to be determined to win.
Well said Tolu. I’ll remember this one “indeed much of our failure is not from lack of trying but from giving up too quickly”.
Thanks for passing by!
Am blessed
