Today’s quote made me immediately think of Thomas Edison.
When you consider all the inventions attributed to him—including the light bulb—it’s clear to see his consistent persistence in action.
How about you?
Where and how often do you begin again and again when things don’t work out on the first and future attempts?
To what degree have you developed the resilience and resolve to start over when your path forward is blocked?
Where and on what important matter did you give up entirely?
To what extent do you feel a sense of failure and regret for not staying the course or finding an alternative route toward your goal?

Two books to consider if the quote above resonates are…
