The Value Of Persistence

"Persistence is an essential factor in the procedure of transmuting desire into its monetary equivalent. The basis of persistence is the power of will."

Hill refers to persistence as a "[A] sustained effort..." that is necessary to achieve goals. Upon reading this chapter one thing stuck in my mind and it is that you must be willing to persist and persevere despite any setbacks or hurdles in order to attain your goal, otherwise you will never achieve them. I thought about how this applied to anyone's life and came to the realization that "Without persistence, you [are] defeated, even before you start.".
