Is It Worth It?

 It Starts With A Commitment

To prevail means “to be greater in strength and influence.”  While many of us ultimately rely on a strength greater than ourselves, success still calls for an unqualified personal dedication and determination. Don’t start anything significant unless you are committed to prevailing. Too much will have been invested and too many lives involved for you to turn back.
 
Prevailing also requires a commitment of time and energy.  The reality is that most ventures require more time and energy than anticipated.  To prevail means that we will invest the time, no matter how much it takes, to reach the goal.
 
Remember also that in order to prevail, what we are doing must be in agreement with our personal values. The benefit of succeeding must be meaningful to you, and if you are leading a group, to those that labor with you.  Ask yourself and those you will be relying upon whether life will be better as a result.  You must believe that the benefit is worth the cost.

 

"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception; it is a prevailing attitude."  Colin Powell
