I had to persist to become the freelance cartoonist that I’ve been for 27 years. In my early attempts rejection after rejection of my cartoons nearly broke me – I thought of quitting many times.(But only for a few seconds!) Whatever you want in life you can get it but it won’t come easy and it won’t come without heart ache. But if you persevere you’ll get there!
Here’s some of my favourite persistence/perseverence quote….
Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. it’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere. Barack Obama
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. Dale Carnegie
I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen. Frank Lloyd Wright
Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before. Herodotus
Success depends on your backbone, not your wishbone. Unknown
Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit. Conrad Hilton
As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time. Denis Waitley
