Spiritual Foundations:\xa0You Already Have All the Faith You NeedLike everything else in the Bible, faith is all about Jesus.
He is the author (the maker or creator) of our faith and he is the finisher.
He completes it, fills in the gaps, and strengthens the weak places of our faith. Romans 12:2
The faith of Jesus is all the faith you will ever need!
None of God\u2019s promises are dependent on your effort or level of faith.
You can\u2019t work up enough faith to get the job done.
Tap into the faith of Jesus. His faith is perfect \u2013 and it\u2019s all the faith you need!
Feature Presentation \u201c5 Strategies to Make You More Persistent\u201cThere is always some measure of persistence in any success story. But giving up offers no hope of success.
Regardless of the outcome, persisting through tough times and overwhelming odds becomes part of the victory. Here are a few reasons to persist:
Few things in life worth achieving are gained without persistence. Nearly all successful people
look up to have a long, hard trail of failures behind them, through which they persisted
. The harder you work, the luckier you get.
Anyone can quit. Quitting is the easy way out. Persisting puts you in a whole different
class of the elite.
Giving up takes no effort. Giving up gives one a false sense of relief that ultimately
Feels like defeat. Any growth of muscle or character requires resistance training.
Just by hanging in there, you\u2019ve accomplished more than most. But in quitting there
is no success. Abraham Lincoln, a man all too familiar with failure said, \u201cIf you are
resolutely determined to accomplish some thing, the thing is more than half done
already. Always bear in mind that your resolution to succeed is more important
than any other thing.\u201d
But when the bills are piling up and everyone is telling you to hang it up and get a \u201creal job,\u201d it\u2019s hard to persist. How do you maintain persistence in the face of so much apparent failure and resistance?
Here are 5 Strategies for Boosting Persistence:
Sylvester Stallone was rejected by more than 600 casting agents before developing
his Rocky screenplay. His first film took in $117 million (in 1976 dollars) and made
him more than $5 million.
\u201cBelief is the thermostat that regulates what we accomplish in life. A person is a
product of his own thoughts. Believe BIG! Adjust your thermostat forward. Launch
your success offensive with honest, sincere belief that you can succeed. Believe big
and grow big.\u201d \u2014 David J. Schwartz from The Magic of Thinking Big
Keep trying new things. The Wright Brothers experienced thousands of failed
experiments before getting it right. Discover your niche. Experiment. \u201cThe way to
succeed is to double your failure rate.\u201d \u2014 Thomas J. Watson, founder of IBM.
View minor failed experiments as learning experiences. Now you know one more
way not to succeed. Instead, view quitting as a failure. As long as you persist,
you haven\u2019t failed.
Expect to fall, trip, and stumble, but keep getting up. And soon you\u2019ll find that your
business is not only walking but running like a gazelle.
When Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield wrote the Chicken Soup for the Soul
series, they were rejected by 140 publishers. Publishers told them the book wouldn\u2019t
Sell. But when the two authors finally landed a contract with a publisher willing to take
a risk, their books sold over 100 million copies! Don\u2019t listen to naysayers. Instead
spend time with those who believe in you, support you, and encourage you.
Persistence is a key ingredient for success. So, keep at it. Don\u2019t give up. Persist, because success is right around the corner.
