You may be intensely determined to reach your goals today regardless of what you encounter in the process. Your ambition may give you a well from which to draw strength as you face challenges and roadblocks that threaten to derail your progress. Should you feel disillusioned, consider revisiting your goals, either by reading old journals or talking to loved ones about your initial enthusiasm, in order to renew your passion. You'll likely find it easy to persevere once you have clarified your aims. You may find that you are motivated by your need to create the life you desire on your own terms. You can make the most of the determination you feel today by tackling difficult or frustrating projects that have troubled you in the past.

Persistence can help you achieve success by allowing you to face great odds with confidence and persevere during bouts of slowed progress. Failure and roadblocks can make our goals seem out of reach and fool us into thinking that the struggle for satisfaction and personal evolution is a futile one. But persistence lies at the root of every success. Your reservoir of inner strength will be the product of your unwavering intent to succeed. When you refuse to give up or to let distractions turn you away from your chosen path, you unconsciously reinforce your dedication to your aspirations. You'll be more apt to choose constructive attitudes and behaviors. The persistence you exhibit today will carry you forward, bringing you ever closer toward the fulfillment of your dreams.
