Keep on keeping on. This quaint little saying may sound overly simplistic, but in many instances, it has made the difference between success and failure. The only way to reach your goal is to keep plodding along. Interestingly, the word “plod” comes from an old English one meaning, “to paddle.” Only by perseverance did the snail reach the Ark, says Spurgeon.
Edison considered each of the hundreds of failures he experienced in perfecting the light bulb to be another step closer to achieving his dream. He certainly proved the cliché to be true that says, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
If you’re ready to throw in the towel, I beg you to stop, wipe the sweat from your brow and keep on fighting. It’s always too soon to quit. The torments of an unattained idea are not easy to live with. Be resolute; don’t let anything or anyone discourage or deter you.
Keep plodding on through the mud of difficulty, knowing that when you’ve reached your goal, He will be there to wash your feet.
