They say that good things come to those who wait. I can see some truth in that statement. I can also see the value of persistent action. Often the most valuable things in life don't come on the first try, or the second, or the fifth. Babe Ruth lives in history for his home runs. What you don't hear about is that he was also the strikeout leader of his day. He swung for the fences every day and persisted in the face of his strikeouts. He was incorrigible in his pursuit.
Persistence requires two things: a clearly defined goal and stubborn effort. I have set my goals: freedom from debt and freedom from addiction. Now comes the stubborn effort. Persist, persist, persist.
