Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 970 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
You may ask the question, how long will I have to persist before I become successful? What will I need to do to reach my goals and see my achievements flourish? How long will it take?
You know, it’s interesting. I heard recently that Walt Disney, for instance, was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his concept of Disneyland. That just amazed me, if you think about it: today, it is one of the most proliferate and successful parks in the world and there are two locations in California and Florida. Yet, it took that many times, 302 times that he was turned down. If it was such a good idea, how come no one could see it? Why didn’t anybody come forth and say, “This is wonderful. We would like to invest.” To the contrary, he was turned down.
You see, there are many stories of such folks who persisted despite the odds before they actually achieved success. Quite interesting. Now, all of these people ended up phenomenally wealthy but sometimes, it’s not about the money. Often, it’s about the concept, principal, the idea, the venture, the journey, that’s what they wanted.
So if you find yourself at a position right now where you are not succeeding, you are not achieving your goal, you are not reaching this aspiration that you thought you could reach within a period of time, one word comes to mind and that’s persistence. You have to persist at what you do and you have to keep it up. If you truly believe in your dream, if you believe in what you’re doing will succeed and will help the world become a better place, don’t give up. To the contrary, double your efforts and show it with enthusiasm. Show it with great care, show it with love, and continuously put all your efforts and energies towards that success. After all, what else have you got to do in this beautiful life than mastering the art of success? Becoming the person that you wish to be, arriving at a result where you will get what you want in the way that you see it. And if you ever get discouraged, remember the number 302, because that’s what it took for this person to be turned down, but Mr. Walt Disney persisted.
I’m not suggesting that his idea is a great idea or this is the way you should do things. I’m using this as an example to conquer the world and develop your dreams, challenge yourself to be the greatest person that you wish to be, and with persistence and continuous legacy, you will arrive where you need to be, and this, I wish for you from the bottom of my heart because you deserve it. Whether or not your idea is great, that’s what you want to do, and I hope you follow through and don’t stop, don’t give up, keep on doing it until you get there, and share with the world this dream.
